Tony, that's going to look lovely.
Another plug for Bailey Guitars from me - I've built two, but if you want an idea of what can be done if you're willing to spend the time (and money):
This was made in 30 days over 18 months (scrape, scrape, scrape) by someone who went on to do a rather handsome LP-a-like.
^^
@Archtop_Dave is on here somewhere.
I remember him standing in the corner (not the naughty corner, more like the carving corner) when I did one of my BYOG courses. We were all there making guitars, and made one each over the course of the week. Meantime, Dave was making sawdust ... scrape, scrape, scrape ... but was emerged from the pile of sawdust became the back of the guitar that's in the pic above.
That man has patience, and his work is beyond stunning.
Gets a "wow" from me!
IIRC, yours is a pretty accurate, period-correct, reproduction of a specific model, including the carve? As well as being a beautiful instrument in its own right of course.
(mine will be more an interpretation, or in a shape reminiscent of ...)
PM me if you want any more details that you don't want to ask about here!
Although, be warned, I will just tell you that it's a totally amazing experience and that you have to do it.
