John's Rosewood Europa
« on: September 10, 2008, 07:18:48 PM »
So smooth, it just slid on over to carving without me catching it first:

 

 

  It hasn't been carved yet, as you can see there's lots of wood to remove and sculpt. But it's already looking pretty!

That's really a handsome instrument.  What an unusual, and attractive choice.
