Looks like their UK distributor is only focused on the surfboard products. Wonder if it's something @markbailey would be interested in investigating...

We use our CureUV system but realise it is prohibitively expensive... I've only ever used oil-type finishes - though I've experimented with a few ...

Thanks @e-den-hertog 🙂 It had been kicking around the workshop for a while. I'd jointed it, and rough cut it, years ago, intending to use it...

You've got enough fingerboards there for a fair few guitars @johnnierox-boo! Have you found a reliable supplier of suitable quality / interestin...

And now that I've finished 2020 #5, a quick mock-up to check that everything fits where it should ... I might use a lower-profile pickup surroun...

Back stained black because the Idigbo really wasn't much to look at.

Carved and oiled.

I've had this bit of maple lying around for ages. I'd rough cut it some time (years) ago but then changed my mind about using it for that build. So ...
