Peter...have you built a double top with the piece of flamed redwood I sent you last year?
If so, got any photos?

Once again, Peter, you have proven your skill as a builder.  That's beautiful.

I have learned to always expect some great craftsmanship from you Peter and this one certainly does not let me down. Man oh man she is a beauty from tip to toe.


I have a couple of sets of curly redwood that I have been holding for a later build. I wonder if I could ask you what thickness you ended up with on the redwood?

Yep, very very pretty indeed Peter. You have made a few of these redwood double tops now and it is easy to see why people are so keen on them. Well Done

Cheers

Gorgeous as always Peter....beautiful use of natural colour.


If I could ask, are the abalone strips in the body & the neck the same width?? (Body looks wider but it could be adjacent lines)

You are right!
Slightly narrower on the fretboard/headplate.
