@nsj Maybe sandpaper on a brush handle Thats exactly how to do it. You just need different diameter brush handles to match the radius of the your many gouges.

Your WHAT? 🤣 😜 😝 😋

I think black limba looks gorgeous on it's own but if wanting to use the top I'd pick something a bit plainer. Maple and sapele laminates on the neck could be nice, weight wise I don't think it'll be ...

@tv101 in my case it's age and cold lol

@tv101 neck through lad, big gluing area lol Cut out the template today, laid it all out. I'm going to print another copy of the body and establish the centre line next. Attachment : 20230120...
