Nice work @tyreman! That is going to be an awesome build 🙂

the top is almost done, I used some hot hide glue to glue on a couple of extra pieces to extend the width, using a rub joint technique, I think carving the neck is going to be next, looking forward to...

@dhawkes1gmail-com Hi Dan, it all depends on how thick you put it on. By the time you've reached your 6th coat it should be a very thin coat so 24hrs should be ok. I had to leave it 36hrs once after t...

Once the sides and blocks were glued together I radiused the edges of the sides on the radius dishes. 28' for the edge to be glued to the soundboard.... Attachment : PXL_20221118_101450916.jpg ...

Excellent @clinton. You could take all those hours of jammin' and produce it into an album. 😁 Hope you are safe and well over there. 🔥 🎸🎶🙏🙂

Today I have put some coats of wood hardener on the top wood as spalted maple (or any spalted wood) can be quite brittle. So no spectacular progress today, but it does give an impression of how it wil...

I patched in some wood to repair a bad rout on the other side of the neck, this should make more sense when I start shaping it later. Attachment : neck repair-2.jpg Attachment : neck repair...

No I did not laminate it myself, bought it at Masave in Zwolle where I buy all my wood. Rick usually has many neck blanks in stock, also laminated. And what I like is he will always make it to the thi...
