@deej Hope you enjoy playing it. Your knife skills are noted as very impressive, looks like you’ve carved the Sunday joint a few times.

Ok ok the wait is over.. I don’t sound very excited as I was a little overwhelmed!!! Im over the moon 😍 Wahey! @deej. Enjoy. 🎸😁 🎸🎶🙂🙏

@boo It could be you have Indian ebony, which is similar to Indian rosewood on the Janka hardness scale, but it's very much the exception. I haven't tried working the Sundari yet, but in terms of appe...

I'll watch it tomorrow. 😆

Thank you @markbailey (and Carol) what a lovely guitar. I will play her over the weekend and maybe post it...you don’t want to hear my rubbish playing though.

I'll watch it tomorrow. 🤣

Right back to work - laters 👋🏻

Right back to work ??????? It's Friday afternoon. You're off to the pub really, aren't you? (Note that I responded to your "unboxing" video within ONE minute of you posting it. I've been sat here, ...

Saying that, I'm loathe to use ebony because they are such an endangered species (the growth rate of the hard heartwood is incredibly slow) so if I want the ebony look I'll try Rocklite Ebano first. I...

I know not all wood is equal but would practising on say the off cuts of the mahogany neck be worth using? I don't have any spare rosewood lying around. I'd not dismiss having a go at that inlay on t...

Ebony is quite soft though, it can chip very easily I've always thought of Ebony as being quite a hard wood @Boo? Hence the susceptibility to chipping?

If you want to do fancy inlays, ebony is probably a better choice than rosewood, the bits you have to fill won't be as visible.

Sounds sane to me, I know not all wood is equal but would practising on say the off cuts of the mahogany neck be worth using? I don't have any spare rosewood lying around.

Funnily enough I was watching an older video of Marks where he suggested debonder after someone glued her finger to her guitar. So yes, I definitely got some in before I started inlays.

@boo I've got a dremel router base but no template, I do have some carving tools. I'm close to bottling it tbh but I would like to at least attempt something. I know Mark says keep it simple but alway...

To be fair the others went in absolutely fine, more 'learning experiences' eh? Totally didn't glue my finger to my thumb either, well maybe for a split second.

Quite oftentimes they go in wonky like that. Just get into the habit of a gentle tap with a small hammer once you've put them in the hole and all should be good. 👍
