this one is interesting. I took it in years ago in trade for work I had done. The neck block had to have been replaced as was the top. So I had to undo a lot of ugly work. It is becoming a D45.
Side crack repair was redone , neck block replaced, kerfing and side support ribbons redone. it is now ready for binding ,

Ugly work is right.
Use your powers for good, John.
