Sanding flush the end wedge. You can see parts of the binding that haven't been touched yet.

He's a builder of other stringed instruments like cigar box guitars and bazooki's (I think that's how you spell it) who wanted to have a crack at building a full sized guitar.

It's also an OM sized guitar with spalted blackwood back and sides, Silver Quandong top, but he's gone with hairy oak for the fretboard and bridge, and I believe he's used either Cooba or East Indian Rosewood for the headstock.

Would have to see it in real life to decide if I like or dislike the "hairy oak for the fretboard and bridge", strange look from the photo.
The dark headstock looks out of place with the other lighter woods.
Hairy oak is certainly one of the more different timbers out there.Quote:
