My latest is a 00 sized falcate offering.
Common theme is koa heartwood/sapwood contrast.

African Blackwood fret board.
Austrailain Blackwood bridge.
Ebony binding.
Yellow/black purfling.

Beautiful Koa and timber rosette detail is amazing. Excellent craftsmanship. Would like to hear a sound sample.

Nice! Love the rosette. I might steal that idea!

Thanks you guys. The rosette was actually inspired by something I think I saw in this Gallery page. A collaboration between Trevor and another person, can't remember now. Anyway, steal a way, and put your own personal touch on it. There's nothing new in this world, things just rearranged infinitely.

That is really beautiful AKEric! Lovely rosette, headstock and beautiful wood choices. I like the line detail on the side of the fretboard too.

Nice work! Definitely one for "The Book" gallery!

The guy who inspired your rosette was "Tricky Fish".

Very kind words indeed. Thank you Trevor. I'm trying to work out attending your seminar with Robbie in July, but I have a relocation in the works that is getting in the way. I'd really love some first hand experience with you.

If anyone is interested, I have an overly detailed description/photo essay on this guitars construction here:

Thanks for directing me to Tricky Fish Trevor. It was fun to re-visit that video.
