Well this guitar is to replace the #8 since the talented guitarist owner has changed his mind on having Maple back and sides.
Instead he picked one of my best Indian Rosewood back and sides: dark and straight grained Indian rosewood.
As for the top I would be probably use the same top as #8 and choose another top for the #8 (Englemann Spruce for #8).
For #8 I would be continuing the build and see who else is interested in buying if not I just save it for myself; since I have yet to own a Maple guitar.
The only thing is I need to start again for some of parts like necks top so this will delay the schedule by a bit.
Anyway here is the IRW back.

I jointed the back using my jig.

After untying the ropes from the jig, I examine the joint.
It was done nicely.
I proceed to scrape away the hide glue squeeze out which I was unable to clean off.
Because it's hard it's pretty easy to scrape them off.
