Excellent news. Build threads galore and when francis has settled into his new digs there's bound to be another one added to the mix.  That is some lovely looking sapele, there, ashley . |

That's a lovely set of wood. I like sapele a lot. It looks good under a finish and the instruments I've played have had a nice warm sound. Good luck with the build!

Good to see you back and building - and it all looks very organised, too. What could possibly go wrong?

Forgive my impertinence ashley , it's a lovely bit of wood but isn't that a dreadnought, not OM shape you've drawn out?  |

Riverman: I think the dreadnought shape were drawn by the wood supplier. I don't really know why, but the top and back plates often comes with a guitar outline drawn on one of the sides. A few images further down you can see the shape Ashley has drawn on the same piece of wood.
Ashley: really beautiful Sapele and I'm sure it will be a beautiful instrument.
