That's a real looker! The details look flawless. I imagine somebody is going to have a Merry Christmas!

Really nice looking.

So what is going on with that bridge? Are the strings terminated at the back of the bridge? Are the circles at the back of the top of the bridge just ornamental?

Confused of Combe Florey. DM

You mean the Parisian Eyes in the bridge pins?

That's pretty. Did you have trouble bending the Bubinga for the binding?

Post subject:  Re: Latest out the door Wedged OMC

Kind of, bent ok, as close as I could, but had to clamp it in at the cutaway as it didn't confirm to the rise and fall if that makes sense

Makes sense. I've only bent two sets of Bubinga and they both came from a board I resawed - it was really hard to bend, that's why I was curious.

A real beauty, Colin. I like tops with that cross-silking. I also like that there's no back strip. With wood that nice you don't need any distraction.
