Great pics!
Absolutely love the rosette - very innovative.
That ebony must have been a bear to bend....

I'm curious too about how it bent, as I have to work a set of Mac soon too. From the pics it seem you left it thick, 2.1-2mm maybe? and there is some cupping at the end as well.

Very nice, +1 on the rosette too. It will be interesting to hear how this one sounds with the Sitka top and ebony sides.

Thanks. The one I have weights a ton so I will probably thin to 1.7 or so. It has a magnificent resonance, similar to a brick wall :D But for the top I'll use a very glassy cedar piece. I'm quite curious to hear it, it will be my first cedar build.
