Thank you George. Koa is some of the best looking wood I have worked with, I've been very happy with the pieces I have made with it. I plan on doing more instruments with it.

I've worked with a LOT of Koa in my day.  I did two builds using Koa last year and posted some pics.  The light reflection in this piece is absolutely stunning Mark.  Beautiful work.
