In the spray booth: Spraying metallic gold test board.

I will let the picture and the discription speed for this one. Get a good look while you can because I'm spraying red over the top tomorrow to make a candy apple red color. 

Back at school: guitar back glued and braced.

I Well I'm back at school and it's been really busy lately. I got a good start on my Martin OM cutaway style guitar and got the back braces glued in. I laminated the spruce braces with rose wood to make it look extract fancy when you look in the sound hole. They still need to be shaped though and than I will post another picture.

UPDATE: here they are shaped to a bullet  point and scalloped in the middle. You don't usually see scalloped back braces but this back was soo stiff I needed to loosten it up and put a little flex back into it.

I still need to sand them out and make them look really pretty. The stripped shavings are pretty cool looking though.
