All looking good, francis, and not wasting any time; the rosette works really well. Finished by the end of the month? |

That's the aim, though whether the lacquer will have hardened enough for buffing by then I don't know - probably more early Sept. looking to take it to Halifax as an overall goal anyway. |

The Box, edges cut back - unbound.  Front purfling will match the patterned rosette ring  Back centre stripe and back purfling will match |

Great day again today making it a good weekend  The body is now bound with one exception where I need to position the neck before I can fit that. Photo 2 below shows a ding I need to sort out  completely avoidable but... relevant words said! So a few photos of the box so far...       There are more but that would get boring! |

I can assure you Francis, it would not get boring. Please post as many as you wish. I know that I'm not the only person who would appreciate them. |

Definitely not boring, Francis. This is looking lovely. I'm not always a fan of too much decoration on the back of a guitar, but the purfling looks just right here. And I really do like that rosette!
