Brandon, I'm probably the least experienced on TG, but it looks good to me.  What are you laminations? The zebra wood looks great.

congrats, your right that is some nice cedar.  I would make one small suggestion though, laminating a couple pieces in the riser will make it much stronger and feel more solid.  they don;t have to be fancy curves just straight ones will work.  very easy to do and will make a big diffeence.

Looks good to me the cedar really sets if off.  The young man seems to approve judging by his smile.  Nice job.
