Sir,
That is one beautiful instrument. Your trim work and binding work looks amazing. I can't wait to see her finished.
Best regards,
Michael

John, I have a set of that Ambrosia Maple wondering what I will do with it. How are you going to handle the worm holes? My set is loaded with them.

I decided to to nothing with them. I'm doing Tru Oil and the holes are staying open. To paraphrase another: "the wormholes are nature's little sound ports". I like to let the wood be the star.

This is going to be a beauty! Can't wait to see the finished product. I really like the binding contrast.
