That is looking real nice, I also liked your kiwi shirt

nice one!

Though Bob, next time you go to the beach don't put a towel over your face. Now there's a big discoloration between your head and your body

i agree with Allen, that is some damn nice mahogany. What nationality is it?

looks nice Stu, I bet it was difficult/ confusing building a lefty?

i think a gallery would be great, for the same reasons you specified. I think it would be better as a thread which has been stickied to the top of the Instrument Builder forum

wow, i wish I had that sort of a wood collection. I mean, look at it all!
