@boo evo gold is nice but it seems to be in short supply just now, well medium jumbo is anyway. I like to use black or gold hardware with it, mind you if I used it again I'd probably use the cosmo stu...

@nsj Yeah, lovely. Last time I did an ebony fretboard, I used gold Evo fret wire, it looked amazing. There is something about the dark ebony and shiny gold frets that is just wonderful.

Speaking of frets, got them in today and the side dots. Got the frets in really well this time, properly seated although I did have to fill a small chip. Still, I'm getting better at getting the shiny...

@nsj Nice work. That is a very nice piece of Ebony, lovely figuring. I like the fret markers too, I’ve not done that type yet.

What can I say, didn't last long before I got hit with an idea and I'm back in my shed! Same frined that gave me the last pieces of scabby looking oak gave me yet another piece. After feeding throug...

Really nice work @koendb. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@russ Great piece of ingenuity there @robin. What did you use for the metal struts? The metal struts are from cheap Aldi ratchet clamps that broke, I seldom throw anything in the bin. It was also ...

@russ I was just speaking to a young woman yesterday who is building an acoustic guitar completely out of mahogany, including the sound board. I had thought about making a sound board from mahogan...
