Yeah...that's some real nice wood you got there. The color looks great on the sound board. You can't really tell it's there on the back. Looks great to me!

Number 2 is finally done. Overall I'm satisfied with the way it came out. Learning a little more with each one. Made some minor mistakes here and there. Finish is Behlens lacquer 12 coats back and sides/ 8 coats on top, sprayed on with automotive spray gun (Sata Mini jet HVLP). I tinted the second coat on the top with some orange and amber (mixed together) Trans tint dyes. Pictures below:

Very nice. It looks like a neck right through the body from the back. Very creative. Thanx for sharing
