Saw this today thought you might need some inspiration Woks
wokks likes big - he'd make it from tree trunks...
Not a guitar but the stock on this was made from a pallet, the rifle was a scratch build with the breech & firing mechanism being a commercial product.
( the builder made the early metal storm prototypes for the designer )

haha cheers KB, I saw this on FB, I like the effect of the different pine end grain making a cool pattern.
at 4D we never say never so who knows, might give a similar axe a crack !
You would want to carefully clamp it when you glued it together!
You'd drive yourself mental trying to line all that up and glue it. I wonder if it ever came to fruition as a working axe?Quote:

I'll get dressed pine lengths from the green shed (maybe a new selfy) and chop to about 42mm lengths on the drop saw, glue together and a heap of sanding to get it flat !!
what shape shall we do ? LP, ST, SG, Tele ?
I quite like the look of the tele !
should be able to line up the pieces with 4 long straight pieces clamped on the edges holding it together
I vote Strat, or something that doesn't have a straight edge to it. You would get more variation to the look of the grain, especially when putting in the belly rest and arm rest shaping.Quote:

cheers for the suggestions Frankie and Zandit.
I agree some sort of profiling or chamfering will make the grain look cool.
we'll wait till we have the body blank sanded flat and make a decision then.
Damn you KB you and your ideas, as if we haven't got enough projects on the table haha
haha good point Frankie, Popeye and I have been mates for over 25 years so the missus often jokes he is my other half haha
The stock of the gun I posted earlier was made from a play pallet bearer which is why what appears to be grain is so prominent.
So my vote would be for some kind of offset guitar
