This was the Americana I made as a wedding present for a neighbour last year. I was rather pleased with it, other than the fact that, at the time I took the photo, I couldn't get the patches out of the finish on the cocobolo. Apparently I should have given it a thorough wetting with meths first. His favourite colour was red, hence the acrylic/cocobolo mix.

His wife got this, as her favourite colour is purple. It's acrylic and some very brightly coloured Purpleheart I was lucky to find, though the camera is awful, so the colour is muted.

I don't show my stuff off much, but those I took for another forum a while ago. I was quite pleased with them for rookie work :)
