That is a fantastic looking instrument in all respects! Top drawer! How was the Ziricote to work with, Peter? Any problems with cracking? |

Absolutely stunning guitar!!! Do the symbols on the rosette have meaning? The woods are to die for. Way to go!!

Lovely as usual, Peter! I agree with you about Bearclaw Sitka. Amazing material--where did you get yours? And yes, translate the rosette for us (what an odd request...) Steve |

Steve Thanks Steve, I can't remember where the Sitka came from but I know now I should have bought a few more sets.....  The rosette is simply my customer's wife and daughter's names. A cool idea I think. (my customers design) |

The Ziricote was as easy as any rosewood to work with. Good stuff IMO. The amazing finish is another one of Joe White's jobs..... like glass! |

A very cool looking guitar! Not just the pizazz of the wood (which doesn't hurt) but it just looks like a player's axe. Dennis |

Great job! What are the bindings and neck wood? They look really red in some shots, not so much in others. |

hi Peter lovely “warm” looking combination and my size of body. Did you tint the top?. I know what sitka can do (sound wise) but I have no experience of Zirrcote, any thoughts on what it contributes to the sound. best wishes Geordie |
