African Mahogany Wokka. It was an itchy moment at my local Hardware and Building supplies place. It will become a couple of body blanks for now until I decide what to do with it actually finish one or two other builds.Originally Posted by wokkaboy
Edit, some of it may need to become parts of a shoe rack. Don't ask. Long story.

haha nice one Franky looks like nice timber, presume its at least 40mm thick ? yeah the slabs looked long enough for 2 body blanks.'
Only if there was more spare time in the man cave sigh !
you can build a shoe rack out of pine and stain it !

They started out 55mm Wokka, but they'll also need some levelling out. They are at about 52 after clean up through the thicknesser.
I ended up with 3M lineal, so thats at least 3 decent blanks....and a shoe rack fascia.

A couple of very nice lumps of firewood there
I've got a small pile of spotted gum waiting a burst of enthusiasm somewhere down track, it will almost certainly be a chambered Tele with a 22 fret "rosewood" neck but no idea what to do for pickups maybe Fidelitrons done in Cabronita style
I'm not sure what sort of pressure is required for glueing body blanks, but I figure a wound tight clamp every 10 cm should do.

Looks good Franky. Remember not too much clamp pressure or the glue will squeeze out

Yeah, I have it about as much as the neck blanks I've made, they seem okay. We shall see, and if it all fails then I'll just have to start again.
