back from the finishers

a gentle burst

Good contrast between cocobolo and boxwood binding

Back from the Carribean and back to work. Neck photos

I spent the last week scuba diving in Bonaire and did not get anything done on the guitars I am building. Had to escape the snow.  But things are back to full speed.  Here is a tree of Lebanon inlayed in a peghead that goes with  Rick's 000 guitar

I veneer the back of the pegheads and I wish I could tell you what kind of exotic wood this is, but I really do not know.  It was lurking in my exotic veneer drawer and has been there for some time. Heel cap is boxwood which will match the binding.  There is a cocobolo center section.  The side dots are sterling silver.

a look at the boxwood binding around the peghead
