Kozz, I normally build 2 or 3 guitars a time. Aestetically, maybe you´d prefer a bigger port? Thats good to hear that, so more "News from the workshop" to wait for? Nah, the size is ok, but don't like the soundport inlay as completely black. Although, as I understand, it was to make the soundport less "prominent". But thats just me, I think some dark reddisch wood would have been nice, but not that outstanding also.

ORIGINAL: Anders Eliasson Hey thanks both of you. Exitao, i dont know what you want me to explain with the black inlay. Its just a black soundport rosette which is inlayed, just like the brown one I posted before. When you talk about the Norse world tree, do you mean Yggdrasil? Also show me a design and I will tell you if its possible. I don't really understand the technique of inlay, especially wood on wood (is it just bonding wood to wood?. But don't worry, that's what libraries are for! And yes, I did mean Yggdrasil! I've looked around and this is the only one I can find that stands a chance of being possible. However, it doesn't have the twisty trunk I like and I think it's so delicate it would take more time than anyone should ask a luthier to spend. It would probably be more expedient to just get something laser cut like a lute soundhole cover. Then I could go grab a Dewalt and a hole-saw bit and go crazy like some of our adventurous forum friends... LOL Anyway, I linked to pics instead of post them here because this thread should be about your wonderful Braziallian lady. Is it (Brazilian-)waxed instead of lacquered or French polished? quote:
I actually like the back. Nice work. Mr. A. I think it goes well with the fingerboard and the buttons... maybe being darker than the dark side looks elegant?
