Hello Oliver,
 
no pictures yet, but I thought you'd like to know that body & neck are together. Next, carving. Saw it today as I went by it in the shop. Looking good.

Val,
many thanks for the update.  
I start to get nervous to see it....
Happy holidays to you all.
 
Oliver (still Spyderman)

Don't be too nervous, things are going pretty fast now!  

 

Mica,
wow many thanks for the update. This baby looks really cool. The already given name Tears for John fits perfectly.
BTW this is our new homepage of our WHO tribute WHO ARE YOU:
www.whoareyouband.de
Unfortunately only in german language at the moment, but some real nice pics of my Spyders.
If you have time, take a look. An english version will of course come soon.
Many thanks Mica !
Oliver (Spyderman)

Mica btw,
will the black points and the bblack edges disappear?

Oliver,
 
I'm assuming you're talking about the burn marks on the edges. These are from the router (pronounced rooter ).  They get sanded off.
 
Brad

Around the edges the black burn marks will be sanded away. The bookmatched dark knot will not, it's a part of the wood. Here's a look up close:
 

 
This piece was the most heavily figured, and usually there are many more blemishes than these two small dark ones. With BEM, there's usually grey or brown mineral streaks and on such a wide piece as this one is, this really looks quite good. James and Chip were remarking on what a nice piece this was as I was taking this picture.

Brad,
many thanks for this info. Is this also the case with the two black spots on the top?
 
Oliver (Spyderman)

Mica,
many thanks for the info. Yes of course, the wood is gorgeous and the two eyes fit to Tears for John.
Simply stunning.
 
Many thanks
Oliver

Very nice!

Hi, Oliver,
 
things are progressing, eh ? Amazing wood, a true tribute to JAE, indeed !
 
Hope to hear from you soon, man !
 
Christian (the faker)

Christian,
sorry for my late reply. Very busy at the moment, hot rehearsal time again and soon we will go to the studio to do a demo tape.
How is your new baby doing?
 
Mica, Val, any new pics of my baby?

I'm not at work today, had a bit of a problem with an eye, but I spoke to Mica and I believe there is nothing new to see (no pun intended), Oliver;  do you think Mica would post all those updates and not include one for you if there was one?  
 
 
Patience my friend, you got pictures just last week.
