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...

@ndakota I quite like the white colour of the pine, the other side is brown though. Attachment : 20201113_165902.jpg

@tej That sounds interesting but I cant imagine what it would look like. Have you got a plan.

@robin Good finish, Danish Oil is my favourite and good point about the cloths. I know a violin maker who burned his workshop down by throwing wet cloths in a bin full of wood shavings

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 ...

@tej looks like you are getting the hang of guitar building now, making your own jigs. In the past I’ve used a neck template that was slightly bigger than the pocket template so it doesn’t quite fit i...

Great work @tej! In my experience when scraping the fretboard you‘ve got to do it all for it to look the same. Sucks but…

Nice body @clinton. Thanks for sharing your thoughts @Russ and what about the guitar? 🤣

Nice body @clinton. 😁 🎶🙏🎸🙂

I’ve been searching my scrap pile for bits to make the body on my practice build and came up with these. Philippine Mahogany on the outside and an old bit of Mahogany window frame in the middle, all p...
