The Other Jumbo

[Carl Dickinson]

This one was really a struggle to complete. I think there's more repair time in this one than actual construction time. Some of the bling you see covers up one problem or another. The big black pickguard covers were I sanded through the rosette's purfling on the lower edge. The scoup is where I sanded through the side. The Manzanita Burl slice on the back covers holes drilled to access some of the internal structure my fat arm couldn't reach through the soundhole. But it's got some real purdy things I couldn't recreate like the spalted oak rosette and peghead veneer and the Black Walnut back and sides that were the last pieces I had. The binding was from Grizzly and is no more. So I kept going......
