Playing #3 Son's first (and he says last) build in AK last month; it's pretty good.
Bowtie cleat on the upper bass bout is because, having 2 slabs of mahogany, he gave the good one to the guy who was teaching him & used the cracked one himself; there are 2 more on the back.

Well executed. 

(if I live long enough, there's a gamba backed upright bass with a split back I'm going to fix that way... been planning to for years)

I love it.

Nice work!
