Does it need more wood? While I’m at it, I lemon oiled the fret board today.
Beautiful DM!
The wood is just speaking for itself, I only clear coated it. I think I’ve got a wood tailpiece idea happening.Quote:

if you can find a piece that mimics the grain of the board even better, id also be tempted to insure that the cap nuts on the trapeze are hidden behind the cover, if you go that way.
Yes, something like that. After losing sleep thinking about it all night I think I’ll do a rounded end, even though I like the harp shape very very much.Quote:
