That spalted purfling is gorgeous! I can't tell, is it end grain or side grain? One of my maple trees dropped a big branch last week with lots of good spalted wood up to about 6" diameter, and I've been debating how to cut it up.

You knocked it out of the park! This is a stunning guitar and Cuban Mahogany is a terrific tone wood.

Thanks!
The purf is end grain. When it's like that, it snaps/breaks around the corners easier (like shell)
