That little fish eye feature dead center in the back looks really cool :D

Nice looking axe.

Nicely done. Is there any color on the mahogany?

Nice clean guitar, well done. Binding and heel cap Ivoroid or plastic?

No stain on the wood, but I tinted the nitro slightly amber over the entire guitar.

What's the difference between ivoroid and plastic?

Ivoroid is celluloid nitrate-basically the first plastic invented around 1860

Plastic used for binding is either PVC (poly vinyl chloride) or ABS (acrylonitriile butadiene styrene)
