At the tail of the instrument's body, there's a seam that can be perfectly joined or, more usually, dressed up with a decorative element called an end graft. This is one of many ways to do it. The adjustable fixture is fitted with a clear plastic template and positioned exactly over the seam. A small router is run around the inside of a slot in the template to cut a precise pocket into which the end graft is inlaid. This koa concert got a ko'u end graft that will complement its ko'u rosette and peghead overlay.
