I've been collecting these all along, so here's a good bunch of pictures for you:
 

 
Don't worry about the funky outlines on the body. Just a settling of dust when I moved some items off the body.

See! They are all gone now:
 

In carving:  

 Still shaping on the heel joint area.  

 Lots left to do at this end.

It's now in the finish department:  

 

 

Wow.
Thanks for posting these!  
Wow.
That top is killer!

hey mica--is there room in the control cavity for EMW electronics?  I know I just ordered a AE-2 kit- but i see that cavity is bigger than i thought.  no big deal--but i think the EMW thing is pretty ultimate and if there is time and it fits...  i'd like to go for it!

i just realized that it has four holes.  where will the output jack go? on the side?

just talked to susan and got the output jack thing straight. nevermind! and i guess skip the emw idea--i don't want to goof things up.  i just got excited...

how are we looking?  must be close huh?

I snuck in the drying room tonight to take a quick picture of your bass, but I could only get the back from where it was hanging:
 

 
You can see it's much more shiny now! It is getting close.

thanks!  looks fantastic.  i'm bouncing around in my chair!

Is it done ?
I'm curious how it turns out, wondering how the body and neck balance out. It's hard to tell from the angle of the picture above..
Anyway, thats gonna be a nice bass Christian.

hey gary,
thanks!  i think so too.
not done yet.  i am hoping it will balance very well-that was a big part of my decision.  i'll post some pics and thoughts when it gets here.

hey mica--did my bass ship out?   i am back from the honeymoon and ready for it!  (we were talking about it getting here today)  thanks so much!

Hi Chris,
 
Here it is, completed on the wall just before heading to the shipping room:

 
It was a little optimistic for me to think we could get your bass shipped to arrive today. Is Friday a good receiving day for you?
