Great job @blake, the heel looks awesome!

@tej Its always difficult making a one off design because a lot of time is spent refining the process then it’s never used again.

That's beautiful! That is what i would like to get! Is that still pine or you combined 2 types of wood? If it is still pine how did you get that color?

What’s this in the post - a tube for a tube. Ok it’s just my new rasp for body carving from the Bailey workshop. Great timing Carol. Attachment : 4A0EE014-49AF-4522-82F5-F8AB25403B09.jpeg

@koendb Yes it’s hard to find a balance that feels good and a neck that’s too thin can be hard to play I find, as well as being unstable.

@tej I get your idea now. I usually align the neck with a straight edge along each side of the neck and make a pencil mark on the body from the outside of the straight edge. Then I measure the distanc...

That's nice! I think I'll give it a bit of colour more cause I like the brown rather than that white.. though the effect seems good and with some coats more and good sanding it can also become more sa...

@ndakota This is the finish that I got on pine with Danish Oil, I think it was three coats. As for disposal of the oiled cloths, I layed mine out on a concrete slab to dry, once they're dry you can bi...

@ndakota there's a video where Chris from Highline Guitars talks about how he handles oil soaked rags (or, more precisely, "handled" as he now uses alternative finishes when he wants the oil look). Yo...

One warning with oil finishes is to be careful with your application cloth/paper disposal. The curing is pretty exothermal and apparently, it's not unknown for things to catch fire if you just lob the...

If you're okay with it @rocknroller912 then chunky is good. I like it chunky. The problem is that chunky means something different to everyone. I suppose, the best way to find out is to let several ...
