Well here's the dread that I started before the summer holidays.
Back, sides, Rosette & faceplate Walnut, top Bearclaw Sitka (a cheap Stewmac AA top..... boy was I lucky!!!), binding, fingerboard & bridge Rosewood, neck Port Orford Cedar (I think!!). The nut, saddle & pins are bone.
Finish is Danish oil (6 or 7 coats.)
The sound is GREAT and I'm really in two minds about selling it. I have a couple of friends who have asked for "1st refusal" on an acoustic, but I'm considering keeping this and selling my Turner........ which I love too!!!!
