Template placement for the bookmatch to center top:  I've only seen one or two pieces of Coco Bolo with such striking zig-zag patterning in the grain. It's really special. and the bookmatch to center back:  Peghead is from the same board:  And the neck lives:  | ||

In the drying room with sealer coats:   The color is slightly intensified by the flash which I must use in the drying room. | ||

Mica - thank you for uploading the progress photos. It's looking even better than I imagined. The zizags have come up very nicely for a very striking effect with the sealer coat now applied. Thank you. Paul | ||

I am always amazed how the grain pops out once the finish hits it. I also think I see part of my bass on the left side in the second photo. Keith | ||
