@rocknroller912 Thanks – might have to trawl around for that!

@rocknroller912 thank you, that’s exactly what I was shooting for. I’ve had a few people tell me it makes them think of images of the anatomical heart. I plan to use that in my marketing, after all, “if you really…   Read more»

@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 that and I…   Read more»

@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 the neck….   Read more»
