    Art Deco lap steel scratchy

    I've decided to put my left over spares from my TL1 into a lap Stella, I don't have the tools or skills to hand make a neck.
    I've glued some old housing timber together and I'll go from here ;-)

    I'm going for three different colour timbers to create a sort of Chrisler building effect?

    Thats pretty cool, i have a scratch build project lurking in the background that will do a similar colour contrast thing with the neck timbers.
    You planning on some country style or Hawaiian playing?
