In an attempt to keep activity going, here’s what I’m working with for build two - black limba with a claro walnut topper. I have high hopes in particular for this walnut grain when it all gets finished.

In case any other luthiers end up finding their way here, I would love to hear experiences about working with black limba. So far I’m getting a lot more chipping and splitting than my first build, which was maple and sapele.

    Is that bookmatched? Almost looks like different tones, maybe just the lighting?

      It is mainly the lighting, here’s the inventory shot from the shop. There is a slight difference though, wasn’t the most expensive piece as I knew there’d be a chance I could ruin it 😅
