Quilted Maple Bouzouki

This Bouzouki has quilted maple back and sides.   The trim is camphor burl from SE Asia.  the bridge, headplate, and fingerboard are rosewood.  Inlay is perl.  Bindings are flamed maple. The Nordic Viking rosette is hard maple. Since a bouzouki is also called an octave mandolin, I've designed the body somewhat after a mandolin.
