Yeah, kind of hard to argue against your first point. At last count there are four bodies and necks curing, 2 experiment projects in build, 2 more kits in boxes untouched, 4 Mahogany body blanks, 5 neck blanks of various timbers, 2 completed builds and a half a dozen different projects for the Bride and the mini monster. Occasionally I go to work for a rest.Originally Posted by JB RETRO

Probably the rescue shelter, they come fully assembled that way. Igor just can't get the hang of having legs all the same length. It's why we don't build furniture in the FrankenLab.

So I ordered a piece of quilted maple veneer and glued it to the headstock face. Trimmed it up and gave it a coat of the DT "Coolongatta Gold" no dark grain filling or such like. I think it has brought up the quilt just fine, especially for a first coat. I'm thinking the intensifying and final coats will make it even better.

Where do you get the body/neck blanks? Asking for a friend...
Stain looks good JB
I’ve made them John, sections of 2x8 mahogany edge jointed and glued to get a blank.
