Wow!! That's a beautiful instrument Alan... ![[clap]](./images/smilies/smiley32.gif "adulations") I have always liked Aussie Blackwood and love the curl and the depth it gives under finish. The maple binding goes well with it and I'll file that for future reference... I especially like the binding on the fretboard.. nice touch... really sets it off against the top and rosette.Keep up the great work!! |

Allen, once again that's some beautiful work. The blackwood sure does shimmer. |

Thanks guys. The binding on the fret board is just some off cuts from the sides. I managed to get enough for bindings on a couple more guitars if I'm careful. I think that you pretty well need to put binding on a fret board like this. The inlaid frets are a bit obtrusive if you don't cover the ends. |

Tasty! The only problem with it I have is no sound clip. That and I can't play it myself. |

Allen, that really is pretty. Did you introduce any stain into the equation, or is that the actual color of your Blackwood? I really like it. Steve |

Just 1 coat of WEST Systems neat, and 1 coat cut 50/50 with metho to wet everything out after it was sanded back. Then the lacquer. |
