that's gotta be one of the hottest looking fingerboards ever! And the rest of the instrument is not looking bad either!

Interesting what you do there with your headstock.

 

[Suburban]

I'd say it's cool, but that's just me
Are those holes in the hody going to be that visible, or is there a top to come?

 

[taviswardlaw]

Look beautiful, +1 on the fretboard! wow.
- re. the headstock, it doesn't look like you're putting a string tree on (i can't see any holes), won't that angle be a bit severe after the nut? It seems to me like that would put alot of extra pressure on the headstock/neck joint... but then... what would i know?
But it's looking fantastic.

i think its great. your designs absolutely fascinate me.

If you scroll up you'll see a picture of the redwood top.

No string trees. We don't like string trees. The headstock will be fine. Thanks for asking.

That is an awesome fingerboard! When you say bolivian rosewood, is that a member of of the dalbergia family, or macharium?
Either way, it looks pretty sweet.

When I say "Bolivian rosewood" I mean "Bolivian rosewood" 'cause that's what is written at the bottom of the wood rack at the hardwood place. I have no idea what family it belongs too. I've used it in the past and liked it alot. When I saw that board a couple of weeks ago I had to snatch it up. I got three more fingerboards out of it. I also got another board, not as fancy looking with the black streak, bit still nice.

 

[klocwerk]

beautiful as always Bud...
Are you doing a cutout for the F-hole chamber?

and I love how you do your headstock->neck joint. mind if I steal it?

 

[Lo end PUNCH]

As always, Your work just simply amazes. Will this one have an F-hole? Nice.

hehe, that's what I was thinking. The woodstore I go to has the scientific names of species also on their racks.

 

[budman]

You bet it's getting the f-hole!

This is Texas. I'm lucky my choices aren't limited to "dark wood", "light wood" and "Mesquite".
