Yes , and such a remarkable cycle of cause and effect a continuous cycle of the celebration of beauty. Mother nature created both us (people) and the beautiful wood. The Artist Craftsman (Alembic) creates exemplary musical instruments  so that we can make and present sonically refined music for our Zeitgeist brethren .  
 
              It's  just  SWELL ! ______

WOW! That's just an incredible piece of walnut. I'm so jealous, i can taste it!
 You're going to love the way this looks when done. Congratulations (early)

I hope Mica has time to snap a couple of photos for the build record. It is so cool to be able to see your Alembic in the build process.
I will keep the faith.

All has been very quiet.
Does anyone know how things are going?

We had to fit your bass into the backlog in the assembly department (the original one is already in rubout!). Should be something worth photographing next week. I am keeping an eye out for you on it.

I saw the body laminates all staked up last week:

  And Kris arranged a little preview with the neck:

  For this week's collection, the body being glued to the neck:

  And the peghead after lots of deciding:

Another reason I love walnut so much. I can't wait to see this under some finish.

The grain pattern looks really nice in the clamp shot!
