Hi all,

I kicked off my 5th build in late spring. It's going to be an EIR/WRC OM.

I made some good progress this week getting the sides assembly put together and inlaying a rosette using rosewood scrap and zipflex.





I've added the lining to the other side and have to "drive the bus" just a little more before I turn my attention to the cedar top but I'm really proud how the rosette turned out. I'm currently cutting the brace stock.

I have most of the materials and hope to make better progress with this one and work faster and more efficiently than I have in previous builds.
