thanks everyone for the nice comments. It is actually a dragonfly, and Susan designed it after a species than is common to Asia where I have lived for the past 20-odd years. 'Tonbo' is Japanese for dragonfly and a name I think sounds like a bass. Dragonflies are also very symbolic in Asian culture ... and i think Susan has captured the movement and color perfectly..

It seems like that Tonbo just took off from pond of body. The top grain seems like a ripple to me. Very impressive. Congrats from Japan!

Wow! What a serious weapon! I love the grain of the wood!
And the three ebony laminates should be a killer!!!
And congrats for the inlay! A true masterpiece!
Enjoy that beauty!
Cheers from Switzerland!

This Dragonfly will fly away any moment!
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!
