Keith's Series I Shorty

[mica]

Zipped through to carving so fast, these are the first pics I've captured:  

 

 

  Still have lots of carving to do, but you get the general idea.

Can't wait to see it with some finish on there...

The transformation with finish will be shockingly cool!

They always are- especially with Buckeye.  Every buckeye top I see suddenly becomes my new favorite.

Mica,
Thanks for the pictures. I can't wait it see it with finish. From what I can see the wood fits the characteristics we discussed to a tee.

Keith you lied!! You told me no FTC thread. The Vermillion core looks great with the Buckeye! Looking forwad to seeing some finish on it.

Adam,
No I didn't. I had asked many months ago to not have an FCT but I suspect it was forgotten as this thread popped up after an e-mail status inquiry. No big deal either way. The important thing is I now have pictures to look at. :-)

Love that Buckeye!
 
This is going to look fantastic with finish...

Hope you know I'm joking Keith. This is going to be a killer!

Keith,
Congratulations on your new addition!  Gorgeous!
Your bass is going to be an absolute beauty to watch transition.  Thanks for sharing.  
Of course it will sound incredible with Series I electronics, very nice choices you've made.  
Play it Healthy!
Art
 
ps: Any thoughts on another NC gathering?

It got a little more attention in carving today. Shaped the horns some:

  and started the peghead bevel:

Great shots Mica! And a beautiful job as always.  Oh, what a gig!

Yes Adam I figured you had your tongue firmly planted in cheek.  
 
Thanks Art. I am looking forward to playing it.

Me too. I love buckeye. Can't wait to see it under some finish.
