@tv101 You dont have to add color, you use the shellac more as a grain filler and protect the wood against moist, dirt, etc.You dont need to make it a french polish finish either :-). It s an alternat...

@tv101 What's the best finish to use on a solid Ebony neck? I was playing my #002 build today and really like the feel of the neck, its still smooth and clean. I had a look back through my build p...

Good old Velvets @tv101. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

This neck is now shiny shiny (shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather - points for spotting the lyrics) Attachment : 20230125_170516sml.jpg Attachment : 20230125_170506sml.jpg That's tota...

After the various suggestions, I ended up using ... Attachment : 20230122_161956sml.jpg Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil. Mainly because I found an unopened little bottle on a shelf! I remember wonde...

Thanks guys. From the comments, I learn that there are *many* possible best finishes!!

I glued the back-cap on last night, and used a few clamps to prevent a recurrence of the gappy join ... Attachment : 20221219_170929sml.jpg That seemed to work. Had to take the car into the d...

I like the curves on that design @nsj - I can't do anything quite like that on this build, but I had something similar in mind. Also really like the fact that you use proper cavity covers on your buil...

@tv101 Here's what I do to the neck heels area on my builds, I use 38mm screws from axesrus then I can do a 20mm neck heel and take the body down to 20mm at the join. Makes it really comfy and allows ...

Spot on @NSJ. I used a standard Tele plan as the core for the CNC design, and the standard plan assumed a standard 4 screws into a neck plate. The screw ferrule is 15mm diameter, which took it right ...
