OK done, the Parlour is now caught up to the Tenor, so I can put away all the body jigs & moulds and get on with making necks..
This weekend I carve to top braces and finished voicing the top, glued on the back & top, cut the binding channels and the channel for the top Abalone purfling and got all the bindings & purfling installed.. I was a bit concerned how the Wenge would route as it seem brittle but it was fine..
Still lots of finish sanding to do on both bodies but that can wait until later...
All in all a productive weekend and I'm officially in love with my new binding router jig.. works so darn well..
I'm also really happy with how the binding came out on the Parlour the Abalone looks great and not too gaudy..

Looking really good. Can you go back and add abalone to the tenor. :D Kidding.... I think that little parlour is going to be a nice looking guitar.
