And can see more or less the final shape. (Tortoiseshell bindings and B/W/B purling planned)

I just find Parlors so cute! :oops:

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 am warming up to those pinched waists on a Parlor, but I really dig your binding jig...

I like parlors too. They're just cool little guitars. Often they put out more sound then you might expect and they're so easy to manipulate.
