Sorry to hear about Michelle being unwell, hope she makes a full recovery.
Thanks everyone Michelle is doing really well, we are so lucky in Australia, I know we all complain about the healthcare system from time to time but Royal Melbourne and Peter Mac have been amazing, I'm thinking of doing a special build next year and either auctioning it off or raffling it with all the proceeds going to ward 7b Royal Melbourne Hospital. That's the ward that deals with leukemia and stemcell/bone marrow transplants. Michelle has spent approximately 8 full months there... amazing staff nurses doctor's etc and it would be great to give a little back☺
All the best for Michelle. I've got CLL, but it's holding at a steady level at the moment, well below any level requiring treatment.
@simon Thanks Simon glad to here your cll is steady and not requiring treatment, I suppose the good news is that the treatment for blood cancers is now very encouraging I have met many people over the past 10 months with many different forms of leukemia and the treatment now is so much better than it was in the past and changing at a rapid rate with many trials being undertaken. Unlike some forms of cancer it has received significant funding which has really made a difference to peoples lives.
Couple of pics of the body going well despite having a few arguments with my router table, my fault forgetting about grain direction!!! Doh! 😕

Thought I'd show you all a pic of the fretboard, I was going to use a neck I had in stock but decided I needed the practice on making one and that it should be a bit different considering the body shape.
The neck is European Beech and the fretboard is rustic grade Vic Ash flooring. The occlusions will be resin filled with a bit of added colour, black, white and aqua flake.

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Thanks Frankenwashie this is the resin infill it will be sanded and radiussed then clear coated or oiled hopefully the occlusions will look like Aussie Opals🤞
