More progress. Really feeling like I only want to do one set of these, its a lot of work. I am learning a lot though, so if I do the other side hopefully it will go a bit quicker.

Looking good mate. It might be a lot of work but i reckon the end result will be certainly worth the effort and something to take a bit of extra pride in.Originally Posted by Sonic Mountain

That’s looking so good, really looking forward to seeing this build progress.
Thanks guys. It's taking a lot of will power to stick with it. I'm knocking off now.. I can barely feel my right hand from trying to control the dremel. Starting to get more into the refinement. I wasn't happy with the free hand suckers so I've drilled divits. I'm hoping to work back into them a bit more with the fine engraving tool to make them look more sucker like. Still not totally happy with some of the curves and transitions. Its a buggerr to get at some areas. If I had been thinking I would have broken it up into seperate tentacles that fit together and done them one at a time.
Live and learn.

Cheers FW. I really want to do your generosity justice. I am cautiously excited about how its going.
I know in my heart I'm going to have to do a reflected version so the guitar looks right. I've been looking at it this evening and really I've done a lot in a pretty short space of time. I just need to be patient and keep chipping away.

Loving the maritime theme... very Lovecraftian!
