I've been looking at Christo's work the past few days.
A new guitar not yet finished.

Thanks for the interest Penny.
It takes me awhile for this sort of thing. Here's a preview.
Silky Oak ...... for the back, sides and the binding on the finger board and headstock. ( not an oak at all, much softer )
Redwood .... top, 100 year old mirror backs.
Mahogany ... neck
Queens Ebony .... FB and head veneer.
I'm working from Martin OOO plans that I have altered slightly to make a more curvy guitar. The bracing pattern is the same as the OOO.

Martin is the best in acoustic guitars, so good design choice. (IMHO) I know I love my Martin. I think your curvier design would make it a bit easier for females. You are quite talented! Impressive work! Please let us know how it sounds when you are done.
