I agree with Kevin, shes a beauty!
In fact, I've already talked to Ron Lashley Jr. about the possibility of building me a new D-10 LeGrande II this same color. NR

Hey Cool Nick and Kevin and of course I'll have to agree....but you know what my next Fulawka would be if'n I had the money to do it??ha..
Natural birdseye top..with "Blue" Aprons and necks....ah..ha....wouldn't that look beautiful?
And whoever you get to finish this..Make sure they Bleach the Birdseye and then again and possibly again....as Birdseye Maple is the HARDEST wood to stain Blue without it turning...>as Ed and I discussed this at great lengths before we went for it....and that Blue fulawka you see up there will NEVER turn colors and I can almost bet ya that 90% of them Will...>so if you ask nicely; Ed Fulawka may give ya his secret....>but I wouldn't...ha

Just kiddin'.

I like the color Jay just posted. But I think I like the blue best. either a pretty blue, or a red, like the color in Ricky's other post. I don't like two-tone.

Steven, 16 to 20 coats, sanded after every 4 coats and finally buffed to approx. 2-3 mil. thickness on both of the Fessys

Hey Gary Phillips, did you check out Nick's
Emmons guitar, whew!!!!!!! what a color.
facinating piece of wood. It's Amazing how guys like Chuck back of Desert rose guitars,
Ed Falawka of Falawaka guitars, and Fessenden
guitars take pride in these master pieces, almost forgot pedalmaster guitars too. We need a museum to keep these fine guitars on display, thanks Ricky for posting House of wood. steveb.

Del Mullen produces some mighty fine masterpiece's himself. I've got a SD-12 lacquer finish Purpleheart apron with an inlayed cross in the middle and PH neck and maple top. And a lacquer finish sun-burst D-10 coming to the OSGA show Memorial Day weekend in Tulsa, OK. Can't wait to see it either.
