Look who's in carving:

 

  Tailpiece rough shaped:

  And test fitting the fingerboard:

 

 The fingerboard won't get glued on until the end of finish. Maybe I'll be about to post some with sealer coats as soon as next week

Outstanding!!  I love that headstock shot- cool seeing the laminates run through.  
 
Very happy for you Austin. I know the wait has been painful, but I'd imagine these photos put a smile to your face!

That fingerboard is one beautiful piece of wood! I got to play a Classico at the factory once and while I can't play an upright to save my life, it was a great experience. This one is going to be a stunner!

thanks mica. i've never seen coco bolo used in any way other than tops and boards, so it's cool to see the round pieces like that. any idea when the finish is gonna start hitting this thing?

Right about... NOW  

 Still needs lots more finish, but you can see that Coco Bolo grain just POP now. Woo hoo!  

 This is the contraption that holds the Classico while it's drying between coats.
