Beautiful work!

Makes me want to start crafting my own bridge design.

Here are the weights of the three bridges as they sit:
Indian rosewood- 19 grams
Madagascar RW--20 grams
Ebony ----------24 grams.

I suspect I will lose a couple of grams when I profile them to the soundboard but I am very pleased with the outcome and their weight. I weighed an ebony bridge once, I think it was from Stew Mac but I might be wrong. Anyway, it was 34 grams.
I am really excited to get the ebony one on a guitar I am working on...that all cedar project. I will obviously post the results with my awful playing and a video!

Well it's been a while, hasn't it? Andy Birko can cut anything you can think of on his CNC machine. He cuts my bridges, and has also cut
Inlays for me. Great guy. Great prices. Birkonium.com.
