The top on this guitar is aromatic red cedar. Usually this species of wood grows very small with a lot of knots in it so it was a rare find to find a quarter sawn board wide enough for guitars. The back is a killer piece of quilted maple the picture shows just water on it.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk   k

I always wanted to do a big batch like this so now that I have tried it seems to be working really well and it's improved my efficiency I also like it because I get to try a lot of different things.
