This is my latest;
Cedar top, sitka bracing.
Wengue for BnS, rosette, bridge, headplate.
cedrela neck and ebony FB.

Im pretty happy with it. some low saddle issues related to neck bowback after carving. but I´ll see it doesn´t happen on the next one.
Thanks!

Very nice; I really like it when someone incorporates a rosette of the same wood as the body

Very nice looking guitar! I really like the rosette design and materials.

With regard to the low saddle issues. How did you address it? Could you have tapered the fret board from the nut end to the guitar end. A 1 mm difference between the thickness at the nut and the thickness at the 12th fret is 2 mm at the saddle.

that´s exactly what I did. to straighten the FB surface I sanded from the nut towards the sound hole. and the result was about 1 mm less height at the 12th fret.
I had planed the geometry to have a medium strig action with a saddle height of about 2,5 or 3 mm but as you said, loosing 1mm at the 12th fret it means 2mm on the saddle. which makes up for a rather low sadlle now, and the action is not all the low I would like it to be.
But I guess I can replace the fingerboard in the future. never done it, so it can be an oportunity to gain some experience on that.
