Then, the latest thing I've been working on is the end graft. I decided I wanted to go a little fancier with the end graft. Decided to have it wrap around the bottom of the guitar. I think it is kinda...

Now to work on the arm bevel. I carved and sanded it down with just touch the bwb strip. I made my own curly maple veneer and glued it on. This one looks much cleaner than the one I did for my wifes b...

put the neck on to see what it looks like. Not too shabby. Even with the repair work. Attachment : 20220606_215123.jpg Attachment : 20220606_215137.jpg Attachment : 20220606_215145.j...

Next on to the binding. Decided to pick up a new tool so help with the binding channels. I love hand tools so I picked up a tool called a Gramil. Attachment : 20220610_162520.jpg Worked fantas...

Finished carving the neck and put it on the body to see how far off my cut away is. I decided to leave the neck the original thickness and repair the body. A lot of extra work but I think it worked ou...

well... it has been a while since I gave an update. I was able to get the twist out of the neck. I believe I still have enough meat on the headstock that there will be no problems. I will be adding a ...

@koendb Very cool man. 🙂

cool. thanks @rocknroller912. That makes sense. So you just get the one height going across depending on how tall the zero fret is. should be fun to see what comes of it and at least practice a few th...

@boo That was exactly what I was wondering about the nut. This one appears to be really wallowed out so the strings are right on the zero fret. I wasn't sure if that was the way it was suppose to be. ...

I have a generic question for everyone honestly because I'm curious. I was given a free acoustic guitar today that has been in someones basement for a long time. On a quick look from me it would take...

This is what my wife sends me. 🙂 Attachment : FB_IMG_1652611640903.jpg

Attachment : FB_IMG_1652105944250.jpg Well... maybe a bathroom reno is in order. 🙂

@rocknroller912 thanks for the input. My experience working with wood makes me believe it would be fine but I like hearing others think the same as me. I will make the volute bigger. I didnt think of ...

@rocknroller912 The neck blank is just a little bit off of full quarter sawn. I needed to take material off of both sides of the headstock but I have only removed material off of the fretboard side of...

ok. Straightened the neck out as best I could. With that, and where I decided to remove material, I needed to fix my headstock so that is in the same plane as the rest of the neck. Removed the materia...

@rocknroller912 oh... we have those here too. Sooo good but you can feel the heart beat start to speed up. That means they are really good for you right? When we make them now I get the tiny Mars bars...

@russ that's what I'm thinking now too. I think it affected more than I think and I'm just finding it out now. At least I didn't find this out after I put the fretboard and stuff on. It sucks but it c...
