    Looks fantastic. I can't wait to see what that back looks like once it is finished. Jamie's work is truly inspiring.

    Of course we want to see pics as it is completed.

    And hey, what a tidy shop in the background of the picture!

    3 more shots. Compared to the back, the grain on the front is downright sober. But check the figure in the neck.Click image for larger version.

    I just fell of my chair..That is breathtaking, even in the white. Waiting with bated breath, along with everyone watching this space, I imagine!
