Nice work Davey that Brindle burst is sweet
My last dog was a 67kg Bullmastiff,, it must be the bulldog in all these dogs that gives them their temperament
Thanks Tony..

Beautiful progress davey..you're very fast builder..Will you give him oil finish?
S!
sometimes you eat the bear....and sometimes the bear eats you
Thanks Sansan... the majority of these pics, aside from the ones sent yesterday, were taken over the last week... I just dumped them all at once.. I feel like Im creeping along.. lol. I have the luxury of a "real job" that has lots of downtime, plus a full carpenter shop. I do some of the work at my home shop, but its nice to have access to good shop tools!

How about mash them together put the numbered section and top cap of the originals onto turned down walnut ones?
Not a bad Idea... I think I have some of these plastic ones kicking around at home... wont be able to get to doing that til Monday, but Ill try it.. I can shrink the wood down a bit and CAREFULLY cut the top and the numbered ring off...great project for next week..
Today's project is the neck pickup ring. I made a walnut one, but trashed it because it looked like a lightswitch cover. I have the portions I cut off of the pick guard and will probably make a temporary one from that until I can get some black/white/black material...

I forget who was asking, but I figured out what the binding stuff I used was... lol. I also figured out why it took the stain so easily and wouldnt scrape like plastic... its WOOD. Its called marquetry purfling... had I researched a bit, I may have gotten something different but Im very happy with the outcome... The neck is glued and clamped! Ill take some pics in the morning....
Cheers!
Dave
