2008 was great for me as after some 19 months I actually completed number 1 - and It was not half bad if I say so myself! ;-)

number two well on the way now, that the addiction has kicked in.

I just finished this beautiful flamenco blanca from an LMI flamenco kit this semester.

The back and sides are Cypress with some nice curl. The top is spruce. The neck is some beautiful curly Spanish cedar. The bindings, peghead veneer, end wedge and bridge are rosewood. The fretboard is ebony.

The finish was done with egg whites and then a blonde French polish.

I strung it up this morning and I couldn't stop playing it!! This is probably one of my best efforts ever!!!

Robbie
