You still could cut them into separate tentacles, so they'd match if you did the other side as separate items. Also makes it less painful if you go wrong as you only have to start again on one smaller piece, rather than redo the whole piece.

I did think about it, but now I'm worried I'd mess them up trying to seperate them. I think I will just persevere and do them as one piece. It's taken this long to get to this point, a bit more time isn't going to hurt.

Man, you have done a brilliant job on the tenticles. (Have to watch the spelling there.ha ha.) Can't wait to see the finished product.
Wayno.
This is coming along so well!

Tentacles look fantastic, the pain and frustration in doing them will be long forgotten once it is finished, once the RSI has healed anyway......
Thanks for the words of encouragement guys. Finally worked up the energy to start the second set. The first ones are not done at all, but I thought I'd try and get the others up to a similar level before going further with them. I just need to have it out so I can chip away at it, but lately I've had a lot of other guitars in the workshop for fiddling and covering someone else instrument with brass dust isn't a good look.
Anyway, its a start. It will be worth it for the end product, but this is going to take ages!

Incremental progress.
I'm starting to think I need to do a custom bridge for this anyway. The chrome doesn't look right and I don't;' think black or gold are a good idea either. I've had a bit of a look around for manufactured brass ones but can't seem to find any.
So possibly back to one of the ideas someone posted earlier in the diary....

I have a number of 60mm square brass blocks if that helps.

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
I'll keep that in mind Frankie
