Slowly but surely, I am acquiring the wood for this project. So far, I have the East Indian Rosewood back and sides and a slab of 1/4 sawn African Mahogany for the neck. The rest I have sourced, but I haven't purchased it yet. Need to get it soon so it can acclimatize. Here's a photo of the back and sides:

And I'm spent! This one had a few challenges. First a cracked neck. Then, the new neck sat too low in the body necessitating a recessed bridge. All in all, it was a lot of work, but man did it turn out nice. I'll be sad to part with this one. Check it out:
Everything about this one is low-profile. |
I had to hand chisel the recess for the bridge. |
