Oooohhh

Who is the fortunate owner?

I must make it a point to not watch this build (yeah, right). I've been lusting after a dragon wing for a long time.

Brian - why not make it an omega where you can take a U-turn and watch the build progress anyway?

Thank you for the pictures, Mica. I've been anticipating this for quite a while and am very excited that it's underway.

Jon,
Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your bass getting underway! A vicarious thrill for many.
Best,
Art

Great stuff Jon/Mica;

I cannot wait to see it finished.

I hope you like it as much as I like my maple DW.

That was horrible... and I laughed way too much at it. :-)

Agreed - puns don't come much worse than that. And I'm proud of it too. Aarrgh ...

Peter - Great reference. I'm a fan of Frank myself.

Dave - Starburst was one of the instruments I checked out when working on the specs for mine. Beautiful.

Zooming along with sealer coats and ready for the inlaid logo:

I have a feeling we'll hear from Oliver before too long.

Back view, too:

Bird's-eye Maple looks sweet!

I like the neck woods you chose. Very rich looking.
