The bookmatched Madagascar Rosewood endgraft on the Waimea slack key guitar is complete. The purfling is “black-white-black”; the “black” is dyed Holly and the “white” is Maple and so is not actually white. All binding on this guitar will be Madagascar Rosewood, so coming into this endgraft on each side, top and bottom, will be more Madagascar with hand-mitered purfling at each corner.
Gorgeous! It’s getting harder and harder to concentrate on my work these days
I like the delicacy of the grain in this endgraft. I hope you will be able to see it in person soon!
Jeff is going to be useless around home when he picks this up. I think he’s spending more time on the blog than on work at this point.
Beautiful work, James. I can’t wait to try this out when he gets it.
I want to thank Jim for the implied vote of confidence that I was ever actually useful around home
And, BTW James, my brother wants to come visit sometime soon, before it is all done.
Sounds good! Come on down!
