Its looking good Wud, but you should totally rout a big channel in the wrong place. I think that would really tie the whole thing together.

How did you do the "WUDWERKS" inlay Wud? Laser? CNC? By hand? It's coming together nicely. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Dave F. |

Finishing the Binding on the Mand-Jo fret board and headstock . Also fretted the fretboard . This is first time I have ever fretted a board thats already bound . Not sure I like that process , however a good set of nippers might be the answer to getting a better fit at binding . Attachment: 100_1674.jpg Attachment: 100_1673.jpg Attachment: 100_1670.jpg

See what you get for being a big strong guy. Let's go back to the basics. Light pressure and high blade speed, let the saw do the work. |

And this is why we always use the right tool for the job. A saw is used for cutting wood, Wud, not for spanking your monkey.  To properly spank your monkey, use your open hand or a paddle of some sort. Here is a nice bubinga and purpleheart paddle available at http://www.paddlesofdistinction.com. No affiliation.  Here is a link so you can buy it and stop breaking saws. http://www.paddlesofdistinction.com/?p=2687 You're welcome. |

The way the brown tint stops at the volute and parallel to the tuner holes doesn't look right, to me. A little less brown below the volute would make it look like wear from playing the first three frets. Just my thoughts, though.  Alex |

While I am spraying Laq . I am setting up to cut the saddle insert for the bridge . A good Drill press and a Good crossslide vise make the job sooooo much easier. ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up") Attachment: 100_1725.jpg Attachment: 100_1724.jpg Attachment: 100_1723.jpg
