That looks great, and addresses one of the Tele's shortcomings (to me) - pointy edges!

1/2 inch thick maple top with a 1 1/4 inch African Mahogany back. The mahogany is heavily chambered. This guitar will have a rather normal appearing Tele back combined with Mosrite-inspired curves on the top. It is my 7th build and my first carved top. It will be my first sunburst finish. Thanks for your interest and kind words. I'll keep you posted.

Looking good. What headstock design is it going to have, six on a side or 3X3 tuners?
