My goal was to have this one done in Jan. But....April 17 snuck up this geezer and I finally finished her up.
Figured Koa and bloodwood binding on a L-OO. Hodgepodge rosette: Mango,Koa,bloodwood, zircote etc.
This is my second L-OO and love the size. Both L-OOs sound much nicer than the 3 OMs previously built. Don't know if I'm just getting better at building....or the basic design is just a bit better.
Only thing left to do is have my new found pro photographer take some REAL pictures for me.

I used bloodwood on koa, and like the look.

Wow! The carving are great and I really like your rosette. I am not sure you need to find a professional photographer, the guitar looks great in every shot.

Awesome job Kent. My father is a wood-carver, and I know how long things take. The bridge really rounds out the guitar. I wonder why we don't see more carving....I know, its a special talent.

Sweet! I LOVE Bloodwood bindings!
There is not frontal shot - is this a 12-fretter L-00?
