Post subject:  On the bench

It's been awhile since I posted anything, so I thought I'd post a few pics of some that are in the works. The dreadnaught is BRW/Lutz (I haven't built a dreadnaught in many, many years, and it's been kind of fun). I used some very old, very hard sitka for brace stock rather than my usual adirondack and it will interesting to see it affects the tone. The other one is a 00 in fiddleback mahog./engelmann. I'm also building it's twin in a 13 fret version that will get one of Tony's sunburst finishes.

Lance and Brock, this new software is really an improvement and makes spending time on the forum a lot more pleasurable. Thanks for your efforts.
