That is beautiful. The top looks like a scarab bettle under the sand, in a good way...

Looks great Peter!

Is it the guy with the dark circles under his eyes, wearing a sound hole on his head, or the guy with the big eyebrows and the beard, just above the sound hole?

I talk to wood. Maybe that's why I hear voices.

Awsome wood Peter. Sweet rosette too.
