The board measured about 60" long by 9" wide by 8/4. So I re-sawed the board in half for a book match. Then We found the top in the lower part and the back in the upper half. So basically we re-sawed then folded to get the piece. Steve felt in need a bit of separation and I agree it came out great.
            good call, for sure.

                    Thanks for the kind words. Steve really has out done himself. I can not wait! I mean it, really! I can't wait much longer. I am hoping another 2-3 weeks but who knows. Its only about 20 minutes from my house so as soon as I get the go ahead I will be there to pick it up. I actually haven't seen the finish in person, but I am way stoked! I just want to see it with the neck unwrapped and oiled. Its going to be ridiculous.
