Sweet!!  I love the back laminate and I like the purpleheart-ebony-purpleheart combination without the accent laminates.

I know that the top is magnificent, but there is something about that back.... I just can't look away....  
 
And that is a phrase that would make my girlfriend kick me in the face....  
 
Stunning, congratulations!

Look at the bass, just look at it...  
 
Look at that fabulous bass of yours...  
 
I knew that just one look at it, this was the bass I adore...
 
A Sammy Davis Jr. Swing remix...

I love how you can just catch a glimpse of the quilt top through the electronics cavity.  Play it in good health Jon.

That bass is gorgeous.
 
I want a 5 string with a nice bookmatched to center buckeye burl top.

Buckeye burl would be an excellent choice for a dragon wing.

Still in spray. Here's a shot with the bass prepped for the next coat of finish (so still sanded):

I bet that Dragon will growl when it flies out!  I like that design.

Getting close to the finish line. Now the bass is rubbed out, ready to get the high gloss buffing next:

Interesting shot.   I don't think I've seen a picture of the nut slots in progress before.
 
Are we at the Stay The Course...Almost Done stage?  ;)
