I must make it a point to not watch this build (yeah, right).  I've been lusting after a dragon wing for a long time.

Brian - why not make it an omega where you can take a U-turn and watch the build progress anyway?

Thank you for the pictures, Mica.  I've been anticipating this for quite a while and am very excited that it's underway.

Great stuff Jon/Mica;
 
I cannot wait to see it finished.
 
I hope you like it as much as I like my maple DW.

Peter - Great reference.  I'm a fan of Frank myself.
 
Dave - Starburst was one of the instruments I checked out when working on the specs for mine.  Beautiful.

I like the neck woods you chose.  Very rich looking.
