Here are a couple of instruments that just left the shop.

The guitar is a double O, sitka top, curly mahogany back and sides, sapele neck, ebony fittings, inlay from DePaule luthier supply and Targets USL finish.

The violin is built on a small viola pattern, with a sitka top, red maple back and sides, ebony fittings, ebony veneered willow fingerboard for light weight, carved cat scroll and a spirit varnish by our friend Rodrigo Shopis.

Wow, what a treat! Thanks for posting these.
Do you have close-ups of the scroll and peghead?

We have done a bunch of savage looking big cats, with open mouths and pointy teeth, but this customer wanted a more friendly looking household type.

Dyed black epoxy, it was kind of a pain to get it into all the little crevices, but it turned out ok.

Thanks guys!

That's really cool. I also really like the way the frets do not go over the inlay. Well done!
