Im New toall of this and I can't stop trying to learn all I can. A lot is done through experimentation, and here are a few pics of my latest that I am currently working on.
This is my current build in progress. I don't have a monkey on my back (i.e "buyer"), so if it turns out really good, It'l probably become a personal. In the meantime it's called "fun"The underside of the neck showing the "accent piece. The neck is radiused to a modified "C" and will have a clear coat of deft gloss layered to a deep shine. I still haven't decided if a stain will be applied on any of the pieces.
I know I should have a basic plan before I start, but when I start with the wood, I have to let it take me where it seems to want to go. Call it a Zen experience (lol), but it takes me where i like. Now with CBGs I can combine my two greatest fascinations, wood and music.

Hi Ted,
I really hope so! I just got back from Houston, visiting my kids. While there, my son's father-in law gave me a batch of 1/2" Honduran mahogany paneling he had put up in his barn for the last 20 years. It came out of an old house that he helped demolish that was about a hundred years old. I did a test on a small piece wet sanding down to 1500 grit, and it absolutely glowed. I should have enough for about a dozen gits. Can't wait to get started.
