Buckeye Redeemer DC for Redleg

Got a chance to bookmatch the back set tonight, lots of birdseye in this maple.

My wife bought a new camera it's suppose to be sooo much better then our old one. I don't see it...:hmm:

BTW more megapixels does not equal better pics once you pass the 3-4 megapixels range...

Whoa now. That may be true to a degree if you are talking web posts. But if you are talking prints then that is simply not true. I've been a photographer more than 30 years and shooting digital for almost 8 years. My images shot at 3mp can't come close to the detail in my 13mp pics. And you ought to see 24mp. Yowza! Strangely, I had a cutting edge, very expensive 3mp DSLR camera in 2001. Just picked up a Blackberry last week that has a camera with more mp. How times change.

haha true but I think most people use an entry level D-SLR, so the sensor is usually a small size to shrink the camera, and manufacturers tend to push it too much for more pixels, resulting in a lower quality picture. Now in the full frame pro cameras, yeah you can go as high as you want because the size allows for it :p
 
This weekend I got the neck tapered, the headstock front and back veneers laminated and the headstock rough shaped. The fingerboard radius has also been started but not in these photos.
