Oh yeah.

Edit: That reminds me, I just finished putting the binding on:)

All scraped down and 2 coats of sealer on. I tried to capture the figure in the top but the pic doesn't quite tell the whole story.

I like the figure I can see in the top. Another great looking guitar.

I got this guitar finished last week but with the local music festival (I had a booth) and the International Bluegrass Music Association Conference in Raleigh, I didn't have the time to take pics and post but here they are now.

Great work on this one. Like the others, I really like the top. Nice silking and the figure can be seen even where it's not highlighted. Inlay is good, neck looks good, back & sides. All around looking good.
Congrats,
Bob
