You have been missed but so far what I see impresses me. Great bit of work on these. I like the pickguards. Welcome back!

 

[Basvarken]

Very impressive! Thank you for sharing.

 

[5tring]

Awesome. There is loads to like about those pictures, but I really like the side dots with fretboard-coloured surround. Looks sweet. Would be great to know how you did it.

 

[chinjazz]

Flawless! Great looking design! I especially like your work on the fretboard!

 

[saabfender]

The side dots are really eye-catching.

Wow! Really impressive work! I love the way the semi-hollow is coming together but both are georgeous. Thanks for sharing!

This one looks really quite good, I think !

 

[Jisch]

impressive work all around. How do you make your knobs?

 

[Frederiek]

Thanks everyone!

The secret to the dots on the side: a solid (glow in the dark!) rod inside a black plastic tube.

Knobs are made in the drill press...

Welcome back Frederiek! More precise, elegant, and impeccably executed work. That carved pickguard is unbelievable! Love the cats eye soundhole too. You have an amazing eye for line and proportion, everything just flows and looks right. A pleasure to look at these buids.

Wow, what a flurry of craftsmanship! I am truly in awe.
