HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF!
 
All the best, and you're getting another hunk of the best right here.

if i am not mistaken jacko
the only filler they use is the actual spray finish..they will spray until it fills up
those one the back are scooters eyes....if you take a look back at the original pieces
 
and i won an alembic fx-1 on ebay,,,,,

actually according to val- they do use super glue to fill in as it is thick and clear and basically saves on spraying on tons of finish to fill pockets..

val also advised that this is the initial carving and when the neck is joined to the body  
the actual 'classico carved edge will be routed out......
and thanks to all....
