So decided to make a Tele awhile ago from Qld ample with a nicely figured Maple droptop. After leaving sitting for awhile the timber cupped a little so decide to run through the thicknesser. Got the back flat and when I turned it over and ran through again to level the top, totally stuffed the top. Was chunked out nearly to the total thickness and wouldn't be able to be repair the top so was put away.
After leaving for awhile a member of the family asked for a guitar and wanted flower stickers or something similar on it so decided to do a cloth top.
Filled the chunked out sections of the top with timbermate and glued some floral fabric on.
