definitely nice top;  looks even better than photo of the slab.
the head is much more artistic than the cone shape , just  wondering if the the top recurves  are finished. it is hard to judge with out seeing the whole thing, but it almost looks like it wants a little  more curve to it. not much just a little.  It's wonderful to see the progress this is definitely going to shape up to be a beauty.

I totally love that headstock shape! Is it going to be available later on for future customs? *dreaming mode on*

good things take time. It is hard to express how much I would like to be playing this now but, as it is expressed in an other thread, it is Alembic's love for perfection that makes their instruments what they are, and what I want. Good things come to those who wait. If not by Christmas maybe new years.  FTC pictures are great to see. thanks;  Ray

Taylor; Thanks for asking . I spoke to Mica last week about putting a small  point like on Dragon fly, and she said  I should see some  new pictures this week. , and it should be moving into the paint room next week. No pictures this week. maybe next. the anticipation is starting to build, I'm thinking thoughts like, I hope I nailed the woods right for the sound I wont, but I figure I did.

I think you might agree, this looks great, but needs a touch of blunting on the tippity tip:
