Was a lot more time consuming and stressful than I expected, but now I can attach the neck and figure out the bridge placement so the string through holes can get sorted. Then I can finally start getting ready to stain. Progress is good.
love the headstock shape Pabs something a bit different but simple.
Neck screw bushes look way cool, prefer them to a plate.
Wow staining isn't too far off, you must be excited about seeing orange on the quilt top
I am a little. Need to grain fill as well. Been thinking about staining the timbermate with red. Nervous though, because the veneer is so incredibly thin.
does the quilt top need grain filling ? I usually leave all the small pits in a spalted top gives it a cool natural look
I don't really know to be honest. The issue is more the tiny little chips around the binding.
fair enough, would probably be worth doing a grain fill but apply it as little as you can so the sanding clean up is minimal
Pablo, your attention to detail scares me! I think I need more tools, and a better workshop to even try woodwork like that.
Top notch job Pabs and love the headstock design
