    Spent a lot more time on this cavity cover than I was expecting to, but hopefully I get that back the next time I try something similar...



    The piece of sheoak I'm working with is about 12mm thick, and I wanted this to be 4mm, which I achieved using a router as a thicknesser.

    I had to shape the piece before using the router, following an unsuccessful first attempt where I tried to cut the piece after getting it to 4mm, but it was too brittle and snapped.

    I'm pretty happy with how it has turned out, and glad I don't have to think about it at the end of the project.

    Cool! Look forward to seeing the final product.

    I like the logo, but what does it mean, or what it's significance?

    Also, does the boomarang come back?

    It's my initials (EF), designed as part of a series of monograms my mate did when we were both working at a design agency in Sydney, for staff and clients. As far as I know, I'm the only one who got this one, and I've used it in a few contexts.

    I was intending to do something more cursive (as seen briefly in my AIB project), but it all got too hard, and I remembered I had the monogram to work with.

    Don't forget the nut, which seems to be missing from the photo. And the strings. And the wire. And the output jack itself...



    Hope it all goes smoothly.

    I knew someone would notice what was missing
