Quite handsome, Colin. I have one set of I. Laurel nearly as dark as yours. How did you find it works? Bending/sanding/etc? Steve |

No real problems with the IL, apart from the grain, which is a bit wild in this particular set as you can see. Bent not too bad (at about 0.08") and also OK to sand. Aso this set seems to have been possibly a bit oily in a few places and posed some problems with finishing. I couldn't find much info on working it and ended up contacting John Ressler as I was told (my thanks to Joe White) he had used it. He said Quote: I love Indian Laurel. It works a lot like Indian Rosewood - pretty easy to work with

Another lovely guitar, Colin! I'm liking that satin finish as well. Is it no touch, after the final coat? Alex |

Beautiful workmanship. The Indian Laurel is gorgeous. What do you use to pore-fill? |

Fantastic work, it turned out great. This is the build I saw when visiting you, correct? Thanks for the finishing tips, BTW. I got the smaller sprayer nozzle and will give it a shot on the next one! |

Thanks Brad. Yes that's the one, came out not too bad, new owner seems to like it. Good luck for your next finish, that smaller nozzle should help. |

Very nice tasteful design. The Indian laurel looks great and I like the look of the plum rosette. |
