You get the patent on the Low density fiberboard (LDF) caster.

That's awesome Martyb1. I can't wait to see it to fruition.

Nick JD · April 15th, 2008, 01:48 AM

Cool!

Splattered Maple.

reddogbass · April 15th, 2008, 01:49 AM

Oh man! I wish I'd thought of that first. I love the randomness, and the contrast of the different wood chips. Don't do nothing but put some clear on it. For future OSB ideas you could use sanded underlayment. Way smooth, and differnt glue-up, resulting in an almost ready-to-finish surface.

Ya got's to have a mullet to show up in public with this rig! Right on!

Stuco · April 15th, 2008, 01:55 AM

I bet neil young would rock that. By the way, I like it.

jwells393 · April 15th, 2008, 01:57 AM

That has to have a natural finish .......or at least a transparant finish ........ maybe Butterscotch.........otherwise you lose the effect. I'm suprised there hasn't been a discussion of suggested pickguard colors. And no ............ you shouldn't go without a pickguard because of the beautiful grain.

I'm really thinking Butterscotch with a black guard.

I was thinking "clear with a black guard"...but butterscotch would be cool too !

spicolli · April 15th, 2008, 02:07 AM

make it a velcro pickguard so you can attach random stuff to it

jwc5 · April 15th, 2008, 02:14 AM

What the ....? I thought I'd seen it all. Interesting, very interesting.

shoretyus · April 15th, 2008, 02:35 AM

I hope you use a good water based finish.

Marty I think it looks pretty cool. You can use it for a "I don't care who plays it at the jam session caster"

toadman · April 15th, 2008, 08:38 AM

your router bits must shake with fear when you load em up!
that is VERY hip! i'm dying for some sound clips when it's done! by the way, next time use Advantek....the warranty is better!

unclearty · April 15th, 2008, 09:02 AM

Sheesh...it just may be time to start DRINKING that lacquer........

musicalmartin · April 15th, 2008, 09:06 AM

Ikeacaster ??

markophonic · April 15th, 2008, 09:12 AM

I think it needs a galvanized pickguard!

I'd like to use some of it, but it is so expensive I could use the most exotic wood you could find, and that WOOD be less ;)

I rememberd this stuff when I saw your drop top. ;)

bobthecanadian · April 15th, 2008, 11:34 AM

Marty, I'm lovin' it. Would love to see more pics and progress. Ultimately I want to hear what it sounds like.

I should get some more finished on it today.It rained here last night so I don't want to spray anything for a while.Just happen to find some more cedar too

I found a 5/4 thick x 4' long, 7-1/2" wide board of Sassafras in the shop over the weekend. Grain is very ashy, and it is beautiful!!

boris bubbanov · April 15th, 2008, 12:14 PM

Marty, you've done some fine, fine projects in the past.

And you'll do some fine, fine projects in the future.

But the visual clash between the back 2/3rds of the guitar, which is beautiful and refined, and the front, which is,.... uhhh........., 'not' refined. Too much of a mismatch for my eye, I'm afeared.

Maybe a big fat slab of bark or cork or something.

jwells393 · April 15th, 2008, 12:25 PM

Bubbanov ............... I think you're having a problem with the visual clash because of the current color tone difference between the front and back. If Marty stains the front to make it close to the color of the back I think you'll find it very visually pleasing ............... or not.

Yes,I think a bit that way too.I kinda wish I would have had some other type of wood on the back,something lighter

cpeters01 · April 15th, 2008, 01:01 PM

the WTFcaster..... my my my...and you gave me a bad time about the Antigua puke burst paint job being a bad idea...lol

So now that it is made up and routed, I guess you have to do something with it..A friend of mine did his floors and counter top in his house with that $#!^ and covered it with the 2 part epoxy clear coating that is 1/8" thick...that would be something that would fill the grain up enough IMO and think how proud you would make Nick JD...

martyb1 · April 15th, 2008, 01:01 PM

Hmmm,first attempt

I don't know
If I darken it it seems to loose some of the effect
Maybe just a hint of amber

Arlo · April 15th, 2008, 01:11 PM

I would use that thick goey epoxy stuff they use on bar tops! It would just add that extra pizazz to this build.

It will need some Sparkle Caster racing binding too!!

martyb1 · April 15th, 2008, 01:17 PM

Hmmm,amber might not be it,but it really makes the grain,grains,wood,strands or whatever you want to call them pop out

This is just some light burnt sienna
