I got some pictures of this one before it heads out the door.

Body in Zircote, top is some dead on the 1/4 Engelmann Spruce. Australian Blackwood bindings. Fret board in ebony with 12" radius.

Really, really nice. LOVE the position markers. You're doing beautiful work!
 
Awesome looking and I'll bet the tone is to die for.
 
Allen, its going to take huge will power to not steal some of your rosette ideas. Truly distinctive and beautiful.
 
Very nice Allen, very nice!
 
Thanks everyone. The fellow who commissioned this instrument had seen a baritone I did with similar appointments and fell in love with it. Asked if I could do similar in a tenor. Worked out pretty well I think. However Zircote is no easy wood to work with.
 
Zircote, blackwood, the rosette design: a truly stunning look. Congratulations to you and to the new owner!
