After a crappy 2009 I finally have gotten to work on the 5er I started in 08'. I reshaped the upper and lower horns on Monday and will be narrowing the neck in the coming weeks.

Here are a couple pics.

Thanks. I have enough of the neck blank left to use in my next build.

I do not have the patience to do that many layers! What woods were used throughout? It looks like you have some padauk action going on there.

It's got a Flamed Maple top, Padauk center, hard maple back on the body. Purpleheart, Birch, Wenge and Padauk in the neck with a Cocobolo and Birch inlay fretboard.

I think the next build will have more US native species in it.
