  • I’m about to give up on French polishing this one, but finally decided to give it one last go to try and get things a little tighter still. Hence the soapy mess, wet sanding to 4000 grit before (hopefully) the final sessions. I’ve been polishing on these guitars (on and off) for how long now? 4 or 5 months? It’s time to put these to rest, if I can. 🀞

  • So, I patched the routing for the rosette, cut out the soundhole, laid out the bracing and glued up the rosette reinforcement. Next is bracing.

  • This is my first time using blue in a rosette. I’m pretty pleased with the way this one turned out.
