Lots of finish work.

First coats of TruOil on the uke, level sanded the acoustic, and the archtop refinish is ready for level sanding.

This carbon part is a pre-molded, hollow monocoque structure that will fit into the neck thusly. The sturcture runs underneath the nut and extrudes into the headstock. This produces a rigidity to the neck that can't be produced another way.

Wow, some really cool stuff here as usually. Always impressed.

In between glazing coats on a wenge 000 build I had time to get started on this 1944 000-18 neck reset. This particular guitar looks like hell and needs a lot of restoration but it really did have a fantastic sound.

Chris, I've long been an admirer of your work, but these golf tees seem a step too far :) look good, what are they?

I did the top binding/purfling pos my Larson Brothers inspired Jumbo. Puflings are .375" wide - I used Holly Binding/Black/Dentile/red/Pearl/red/dentile/black. .065/.020/.078/.020/.049/.020/.078/.020 inches for each. After I pulled the plastic filler strip, I cracked pearl into the gaps. I still need to final sand, etc, but these pics give an idea.

Beautiful, Glenn. What is the binding material? How about shots of the back and sides?

Hi Ed!

Thanks! Binding is Holly. I'll get shots of back and sides after I do the back binding - I worked on the top first. B&S are beautiful dark Coco. Top is Red spruce.

I guess it's OK --if you like that "minimalist/functional" approach.

Got a couple rims wrangled into shape.

Also upgrading my dust collection. Shop upgrades are nice once complete, but a huge time suck.

Snarly!
Did a few like that and then decided to do the binding separate from the purfling.
Nice Glenn!

Selecting tonewoods for my next build. The vendor said this was AAAAA spruce, but I think it is a little dark.

Just about finished French Polishing this Wenge 000. And I thought pore filling White Oak was hard!

A new concept build for me. Thin, light soundboard, triple X braced, just roughed out, still a fair bit of sanding to go.
