I'm impressed by your design and the layout of the dots. What material did you use for the scales and the serpentine dots?

[balaban9331]

african blackwood.dots are brass rod cut,glued and sanded.

I agree not my taste but very nicely done :thumbup1:

How was african rosewood to work with? Is there a density comparison. I plan on building a guitar with african rosewood back and sides.

[balaban9331]

african blackwood is extemely dense,smells like chocolate when you work with it and has a nice grain pattern.should work perfect for a guitar.
