Tiger Myrtle and Ancient Sitka Tenor

Here's another tenor commission now in California. The client saw a previous instrument with these timber combinations and asked for something similar.

I don't usually like Tiger Myrtle but DAMN! You make it look sexy with your timber combinations and finish! (what gloss level are you using on this one Allen? Sometimes it looks like a 30% then other shots it has a gloss level that looks higher)

Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

It's high gloss Nick.

I take the photo's in a light tent with 3 lights to give a nice soft illumination. It's hard to take photo's that show gloss without the glare spoiling the shot.
