Nice try @Boo, but from what I can see in the voting records, it was Mark himself who voted that he be left alone ... looks like the option you voted for has been removed from the list of options now,...

I’m the only one who has voted to leave the cuddly geezer alone. I’ll stick up for you @markbailey 😁

@tv101 Thanks Tony, I’ll look out for it.

I think it looks great Yeah it does look great, I agree. It is a design choice and it does look good but if you wanted a high gloss finish, you would have to grain fill Ash a lot, it’s a lot of work....

It’s a design choice! Attachment : 82DABD2D-0B90-4BDB-9BCE-8C19416B4416.jpeg Although Steve Robinson (Manchester Guitar Tech) described this as 70s Habitat. Black nitro straight onto raw Ash. I...

It looks a little like European whitewood used in building..joists /rafter etc. it would work on a body and have it nice an rustic but may warp. It’s hard to see from the pictures but how thick is i...

hello i have this piece of wood and not sure if it is maple. i think that it may be some kind of pine but not the same colour or full of knots. this has a few knots but not the same. Attachment : ...

Hi Simon, It really doesn’t look like maple to me, too soft too open grain. If you can lark it with you thumb nail it is maple! Much more likely to be softwood but hard to be definitive from a couple ...

@e-den-hertog Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be widely available outside the US. I found one surf board building supplies shop that sells it in Australia where I am. You can also order directly from...

Nice post! Very interesting..... Where did you get the stuff? I'd like to try it myself, but I haven't found a Dutch/European retailer yet....

Hey guys, have any of you tried out Solarez products, what are your thoughts? I ordered a few small bottles of their grain filler and UV cure clear coat to play around with. They arrived the other day...

There was a discussion this afternoon about bandsaws and the pitfalls of using a jigsaw, so I though I would share the method that I worked out over 20 years ago not having a bandsaw and wanting to ma...

@boo I too hope surgery goes well! I received two rolls of NEC tape this morning. Needless to say that the neighbours are indeed a lot quieter and I plan to untie them at the weekend. Hopefully the ...

I am quite good at liking music with no guitars. This dutch band from the late seventies/early eighties had no guitarist or bassist. This song was the only (modest) hit single.

Keep going back again and again to Bill Nelson played his red 335 - getting tones 8yrs in advance of Prince. Absolute classic! Warmness

Agree about Bill Nelson - wonderful stuff!

My favourite song for today.
