You are doing nice work, you should be proud. I've built 5 now and each one gets better (or I learn from my mistakes!) That Japanese Cedar has a very nice grain.

Hey. Thanks for the comment. I am living in Japan, and the only wood that I can really get my hands on is Japanese Cedar (Medium hard wood). I wish I could get maple or oak, but I just can't find it. I stained it with an oak colored stain twice and then followed up with one layer of clear coat. I am glad to hear that my work is getting some comments. Thanks.

Pretty fretboard. What kind of wood? Finish?
