Here are some pictures I promised from an earlier thread introducing myself to the forum.

Spruce top, Mahogany B/S. French polish finish. Everything was built from scratch except a preslotted fingerboard and the bridge. Rosette is maple, mahogany and rosewood. I pretty much followed the Cumpiano book except I used a mold and it has a bolt on neck.

Thanks for looking.

Pretty guitar Sam!!

How does the classical sound with the Mahogany? I would expect a really mellow sounding guitar??

Thanks for sharing!

Looks good Sam. Interesting, (and attractive) rosette.

Thanks for the kind words.

I've got a number of things to improve on my current build - another classical: getting better fits without gaps-neck to body, binding, rosette channel etc.; improving my french polishing technique and the resulting finish; and much more.

It's nice to hear encouraging words and know you are heading in the right direction.
