Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

That is going to be another beauty.
I sure like the radial rosette, very tasteful.

What wood did you use for the fretboard?

Thanks Joe.
The fretboard is just a nice piece of well quartered EIR.

Cool headstock design. I like how the angle at its end echoes the angle of the nut. Your shop looks pretty darned tidy, at least by my standards. I gotta ask. What is that paper tacked to the ceiling?

One of several Jay. That particular one is from the dark web - A list of top thickness (SS and classical) estimates against the specific wood MoE and S.G. based on Al Carruth's work.

Looking very nice, Colin! Are you doing a satin finish on this one?
