Love that neck! Great wood combinations.

This one is sweet! The way the finish makes the figuring in the wood pop out is nothing short of spectacular. And it's neat how the bookmatched back makes this neck-thru look like a set neck .. a wolf in sheep's clothing, so to speak.

Bill, tgo

Is that back from the same lot as Charles Dragonfly?!?

I love it...... lots of great inspiration in the FTC threads lately.

Congrats Erik, there's lots of good vibes in this one for sure!

Bill took this shot after speaking with you today. What do you think about the color? Is it looking dark enough?

As I said on the phone, I think the natural color would be my personal preference. Dark amber or cognac tint will reduce some of the contrast. But that's just an opinion, you'll have to decide what will suit your tastes best.
