Man, that quilting has "luminescence" to the max.
Interested to see what choices you make for the rest of the build - should be a pearler.
After a week clamped, roughed back the veneer on the head-stock and hand drilled out the holes.
Unfortunately the veneer I have didn't have the width for the flame to run along the head-stock so went with how it currently is.
Still struggling with what color to do the back, black being an obvious option, but need to find some time to experiment with color.
Tony
black always looks good, but a nice dark teak colour would look good too!

Got a chance to stain headstock. Flame came up pretty well.

Nice work Tony, looks terrific! Can't wait to see this come together
Looks amazing!
Wow Tony that headstock really bounces. Did it come with the veneer or did you put that on?
