Thanx guys.

Found another pic.
Lots of laundry pins in the process of glueing the lining blocks to the sides.



I think this is the last picture that I have of the building process.

Great work! Congratulations in finishing the project. A lot of people would have given up after such a long period.

And I have to agree with everyone here: that's a really pretty bass!
I really love the whole design. It does look like a really expensive ABG!
