#11 - Blackwood/Sinker Redwood.
This marks Guitar # 11 for me. The woods (apart from the top and inlay woods) was purchased back in 2007 from an OLF auction to help out our Friend Kevin Gallagher (rip). Most of the woods were donated by Tim Spittle and Kim Hickey. Here are the details:
Top - Sinker Redwood
Back & Sides - Flamed Tasmanian Blackwood
Neck - Tasmanian Blackwood with lacewood and red laminates
Fretboard - Mulga a desert hardwood bound in tiger myrtle with red purfling
Bridge - Minnerichi
Binding & headplate - Tiger Myrtle
Top purfling - Lacewood with red accents
Inlay wood - pear burl
Really love the hardwoods you folks got down south
The rosette is based off Jason Kostal's stained glass design. I really like this look and will certainly use it again.
Finish is nitro lacquer.
Thanks for looking.
This is the owner signature.

G'day Rod,
So that's what we have to do with it. Hmmm. such a fine looking guitar Rod.
We are the lucky country no doubt about it when it comes to choice of tonewoods and some we don't even know about yet.
Thanks for the pictures, it's a beauty.
Cheers
Alan

It's a real beauty Rod. You've done an outstanding job of wood choices with a complimentary color pallet with just the right amount of highlights to make a very classy looking package.

Thanks folks
I was sort of worried that the red accents would be too over bearing, but in the end it all worked out well.
Gotta get me some more Aussie timbers
