Thanks for the glue and glass Kenny. Getting this sealed with superglue then finish sanding.

I've had this very nice piece of cocobolo waiting for a special project and this is our first grandchild to graduate from high school. Couldn't think of a better time to use it.
The bow has a hickory core with red cedar veneers. Clear glass on the back and black glass on the belly. The riser is cocobolo with a fiddleback maple stipe and cedar accent stips with a quilted maple accent on the back.

I should have picked up 2 when I got this one. Also I shouldn't be allowed to buy a white shirt. ;^)
