I've seen all this Brownwyn/helicopter stuff been posted everywhere and don't even know what it relates to. I don't watch the news...ever. If world war 3 started tomorrow, I'd literally be the last to know:P
Now THAT was a great album:-)Quote:

as long as you are trapped in the man cave Barge when the WW3 starts !
FYI she took a tax payer funded helicopter flight to a function and has got a tad of criticism for it
After the success of my last faux binding attempt I reckon I'll do the same on this. Real binding would be cool but I don't have a router table for doing an archtop:-(Quote:

Yes! Wokka, you have a new avatar. Lol.
thanks for the idea Pabs, time for an update and cheers Barge for the paintshopping haha
PS to anyone who thinks I look like this I don't ! I'm missing the Billy Ray Cyrus hair and the chest/biceps !
@ Pabs you need an avatar bro ! Sure Barge can knock up one for you !
Simple workaround is to file the tip down, leave just enough to stop the bit wandering off. You only really need .5mm tip length.Quote:

Yeah good idea, as long as you've got a decent guide hole or deep centre point the tip on the brad point is irrelevant, I might grind one down tomorrow and try it out.Quote:

Did a bit more refining with the top today, it's about as close as I can get it in it's current state. Once I lay down some stain I'm sure I'll pick up more that needs doing but all in all it's looking nice.
Sealed the top up ready for final sand. The sealer really highlights the unusual quilt, it actually runs diagonal to the grain which is kinda crazy.
wow looks nice Barge, the pics on the left the archtop is a bit more obvious. Weird looking grain alright toward the bottom of the body.
Looks like the BAWS has cranked up once again
Looking pretty tight man. You got your colours picked?
Hehehe, it's looking that way Wokks, BAWSn' it up!!
Yeah. I really want to get looking like the LP in the top pic, a midnight blue/black burst kind of thing. Actually achieving it will be a whole other prospect:PQuote:

The figure is not so unusual.
As trees grow they twist as they track the sun each day, add to this the weight of the canopy compressing the trunk and you can get figuring like flames and then quilts.
Especially when it is a real big arsed tree :)
Here have a look at this one, you'll learn heaps.Quote:

I know very little regarding timber and the whole mechanics behind grain and figuring. That why it blows my mind when I see something different, Mother nature is definitely the winner when it comes to artwork.Quote:

All the sanding done up to 400, and the rest of the holes drilled (jack, wire, neck screws). I used tattoo ink for the top colour, black for the burst and blue (yes the actual name of the ink was "blue") for the inside. it took a fair bit of mucking round but I finally got the burst to where I'm pretty happy with it.
Had a dribble of nitro clear in a can so I used that up to seal the top colour, mainly to stop residual ink getting on the bare timber. It's kind of given a glimpse into what's gonna happen once the real clear goes on. The colour is nothing like my original concept but I think I like it even more, it almost looks like the inside of a Paua shell in the right light.
