 Here are some pics of #2. It is an OM with Mahogany with Lutz sound board. Bubinga binding with Orange Agate back head plate and rosette. I Used African Black Wood for the bridge and really like how that turned out. She sounds really sweet. We are in the process of moving, so sorry, no sound clips

Beautiful job Eddielee. I really like the fact you didn't shy away from things like using purfling in the binding scheme, giving it a sound port, doing a great head stock with inlay, and a classy rosette. It looks like you might have even used radial purfling around the top plate.... and you pulled them all off beautifully !!! |

Very nice... I'm not sure my 20th guitar had that kind of fit and finish |

Very,very nice. That's an elegant guitar. The bubinga binding looks great against the mahogany and I like the headstock shape, the inlay, and the backstrap a lot. Is the purfling on the top also orange agate? |

I love it. There are half a dozen little design ideas there that I might steal. I am not telling you which. Those are my ideas now! |

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. The top purfling is Brazilian Cherry. Bending that was the hardest part for me. I made a lot of those and lost most of them in bending. I am not really sure what the definition of "Radial" purfling is but I do not think this qualifies. If you look at the end of the purfling, the grain is vertical along the long dimension. I liked the look of that but it probably made bending it much harder. Thanks again. |

Yes, that is radial purfling. I have yet to do it but I think most guys just make the strips but don't bend. They leave a channel in the binding arrangement with a nylon strip, the same as you do for abalone. Then pull the nylon out after the glue is set up and install the radial stuff by just working pieces in the same as you do with abalone, but... yours came out great so you can't argue with the way you did it. Great Job!!! |

Joe, That might be the easier way to do it. |
