Nice work man.

I love the look of freshly worked wood but I'm guessing it won't keep the same colour tone but will warm up a bit over the next few months.

How soon after you finished working the wood until you took the photo?

RE: New blanca (in reply to Andy Culpepper)

thank you all for the nice comments.
Sean, these pictures were taken a few days after the finishing was done. In person it's actually not QUITE so "blanca". But I did use a very light colored shellac. It will darken some over time.

Great job, I went to listen to your audio file and it sounded better than it looks, witch means that you have created another excelllent instrument.

Will you ever try to do a peg head?

Congratulations!

Gracias M.S.A. The bracing is similar to one Barbero used. Soon I'll get a sound sample up of #1 and #2 back to back. They are actually quite different despite the same bracing pattern.

RTC, thanks. Guitars should always sound better than they look

I think my next flamenca will be a peghead.
