Hi Uncle John, Hippy Chip and Richard.

Thanks for the comments. Uncle John. I have a large black Rocky Patel box and I intend to do a beech fretboard and bridge on that one. Same sort of idea but more so.

Thanks all for the encouragement.

John

Like the box John, but like what you did with it more.  I would not have thought of contrasting those woods.  It works.  Nice restraint on the sound hole.  Just right.

Hi Wes.

Thanks for the comment. I haven't seen many boxes just like this. All the others I have seen have been light top and bottom and dark on the edges. This is dark all over and has a very striking grain.

Thanks again.

John
