Just finished building my FL6 w

Excellet!
Gorgeous top wood. I had to look it up: Sonokeling or Palisandre, also known as Indian Rosewood, is a very dense hardwood. Celebrated for its strength and dark beauty, it has been used for centuries for fine furniture-making. Sonokeling has rich color striations ranging from chocolate to espresso to shades of deep purple. When aged, it deepens to a more uniform color, whereas with young Sonokeling, the pale white sapwood contrasts dramatically against the dark tones of the heartwood.
Excellent! This one is hollowed on the top section
 
Take a look at the top
