Not a whole lot of progress. The neck is roughly shaped. Bent the eir bindings. I'm hoping to route for the bindings soon if I don't lose power. I'll try to post some pics later. I still have a hard time posting pics on this forum for some reason.

I couldn't resist putting strings on to see hoe it would sound. I can't get it in tune without the bridge being glued down or having a saddle but I had to hear it. I have to finish shaping the bridge and slot the saddle (hopefully close enough for it to be properly intonated) and then hope to start the finish. I think John's recent posts has convinced me to try french polish on this. We'll see how it goes.
