Here it is, my daughter's 16th bday guitar. Thanks to all of you who helped with advice and tips. I'm really appreciative of this forum. This is my 3rd guitar.

0 size 12 fret deep body
Sinker redwood top
Claro Walnut b/s
Bloodwood headplate, endwedge, heel cap, string pins
Koa binding
Ebony bridge, saddle

I don't have a good camera, but here are a few pics. It sounds great. Super responsive, especially to a light touch, with excellent bass for such a small guitar. I'm getting better. :)

Very nice! Coincidentally, my daughter and I built a 12-fret 0-28 style guitar for her, in koa.

Very nice work, I'm sure she will be thrilled to bits.

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

I'm an electric guy, so I hope you don't mind me sneaking over here to say I really admire you guitar.
I thought of trying to build a 000 kit, but after reading a lot of the posts, an acoustic is way beyond my talent. Again. the guitar is beautiful!

When I was 16 years old the only walnut that I had ever seen was cracked and munched upon at Christmas! Your daughter should be very proud to have a father who could create such a gift, and you should be very proud of what you have done.
