That orange is going to look awesome on the quilted top. I'm gonna follow this one closely, I really want to do one of these builds.

i used a cheap dremel rip off to get mine flush, same style of socketOriginally Posted by pablopepper
Finally some progess. Life has well and truly gotten in the way of this build, but managed to get a bit done this afternoon.
Got some shaping done on the back side.
And had to enlarge and extend the hole for the electrosocket jack.
Fits well and there's enough room for the jack now. Still want to chamfer the edges a little to get it flush.
Got the headstock in order.
And recessed the ferrules for the neck screws.
Was a lot more time consuming and stressful than I expected, but now I can attach the neck and figure out the bridge placement so the string through holes can get sorted. Then I can finally start getting ready to stain. Progress is good.

love the headstock shape Pabs something a bit different but simple.
Neck screw bushes look way cool, prefer them to a plate.
Wow staining isn't too far off, you must be excited about seeing orange on the quilt top

I am a little. Need to grain fill as well. Been thinking about staining the timbermate with red. Nervous though, because the veneer is so incredibly thin.

does the quilt top need grain filling ? I usually leave all the small pits in a spalted top gives it a cool natural look

I don't really know to be honest. The issue is more the tiny little chips around the binding.

fair enough, would probably be worth doing a grain fill but apply it as little as you can so the sanding clean up is minimal

Pablo, your attention to detail scares me! I think I need more tools, and a better workshop to even try woodwork like that.
