Elegant bridge design on the OM Rob....that wee parlour is a humdinger!!!

, such a classical clean look, sometimes no bling is eye catching, let the timber say it all. Well I love it!!
What tops are on these beauties Rob?

Fantastic Rob
what woods and what is the finish in the photos it looks to be a cross between a gloss and satin ,it just looks incredibly ,...................."silky" for lack of a better term
Love them ,can we get some more pics?

I'm a sucker for wee little guitars. There's just not enough of them in my opinion. Yours looks the bomb.

Thanks guys, the tops are both European spruce, the finish on the O.M is waterbased gloss its really shiny but not in this photo, the wee parlour has ben finished with tru-oil, its the first time ive used it and im very impresseed with it, the parlour is my own design and i think it would have been nicer as a 12 fretter, the O.M has American black walnut back & sides and the parlour has Euro walnut b &s...
Thanks for your comments guys...

Nice work, Rob.

I used tru-oil for the first time on the last and I think I'll continue using it in the future, as an alternative to spraying and French Polishing, when applicable. Makes a nice satin finish straight out of the bottle....
