Literally, about an hour ago, I let my orbital sander drift ever so slightly from perfect plane (wrist droop) - I *KNEW* better than to orbital sand the finish coats of veneer that I personally applied on an acoustic. But I had gotten away with it before, and I'm on my 4th coat of tru-oil at that point so <shrug>...Originally Posted by Simon Barden
Routing binding scared the hell out of me, worked great. Gluing it in worried me. Nailed it. Quilted maple veneer I cut and installed on headstock, turned out great. Finish coats looking better and better. And then... I took off about 1/16 inch wedge of veneer on the top right of the headstock in milliseconds. It is *ALL* that I can see now. Can't wish it back
I can't stress enough how great I felt to know that even the super-great luthiers out there feel the same way. Highly recommend this guy's book. Made me realize I wasn't crazy. https://www.lospennatoguitars.com/th...guitar-making/
