The bevel in the cutaway, what can I say? Awesome!

Simply delightful - so many outstanding details.
Is that really blue purfling on the headstock?

There's nothing much I could add to what's being said about your work. I'm always gobsmacked but this time you have been inspired.
A work of art.

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Class Act! It is so easy to go overboard with ornamentation such as shell inlay and colored binding. No such problem here. Gorgeous!

Beautiful!

I'm curious why you didn't make the blue line follow the radius at the end of the fretboard? Looks good no matter.
