As you can see the instrument is currently in the "raw" state. Since these picture I have stained it a dark brown with sunburst and have just finished spraying lacquer.

The
back and neck are bird's eye maple. The back is a one piece while
I glued up the neck out of two pieces. This is beautiful wood, but
it is tough to work! I think my next instrument will be out of the
more traditional curly maple.
In addition
to the "Wild Flower" peghead which I think I will standardize on for future
instruments, I also use "buttercups" for my fretboard position markers.
- Just trying to be a little different!
