Posted by: @rashdown_online So, first up - hope you're all OK! It's been a while but tomorrow will be the day that this beauty will be in my clutches and be subject to constant Smoke on the Water int...

She's a beauty! I don't mind the odd lumpy bit 🙂

At last something that resembles a guitar body. There a few uneven bits around the sides but I’ve got them as good as I can with my limited knowledge and ability. A bit more sanding required and the n...

Hii , Great stuff, best of luck for your amazing idea..

@koendb there must have been flaws in this wood from the beginning. Gotta love the unpredictability of wood. 🙂 I think it is still a good call to keep going. I believe if you can get to the point of g...

@koendb You're not giving up on it are you, can't you glue it again ?

@koendb Dont give up yet most things can be fixed. Post some close up pics and get a few opinions.

Well that's it, I guess that board is ruined now, I made it worse I think, It now also cracked on both sides.I am going to order a new top and start all over, enough source for cleats material now. &...

@koendb If there is a crack on the opposite side same place then I guess it’s a fault in the wood due to drying and outside your control, but you are working with it so that’s good.
