This one took time and gave me some headaches along the way. I had to sand back the first try with waterbased laquer, because I sanded througt and ruined the stain. So now it is Danish oil instead, ex...

@nsj I'm now thinking about a possible steel barrel or such that I can suck the air out of and stick on a bed of hot embers, put something inside to support the maple. I think it's generally done und...

@nsj , I don't have all these router jigs like some people lol Have a wee break from making guitars and make some jigs, its just as much fun.

Nice work @nsj! I like it
