Thanks, Kigar!

Nice!  Especially like the soundhole and the upper end of the fretboard with the curved steps.

Thanks, gents! The main neck's oak almost looked quartersawn. The oak fretboard had more of a 'flamed' look. I'll need to build my own 4-stringer to tune and play.

Looks great, like the grain on the neck too.

Hey, a FOUR.  Looks great.  I am kind of sad to see that it is leaving your hands.   You better play it a bit and consider making one for your self.  Top marks on the headstock and sound hole.  I never seem to think about 'alternative' sound holes like that.  

Keep in mind, it may take a while for 4 string playing to kick in.
