guitar in a box

well received my Cocobolo wood today 40 lbs worth, This will turn into hopefully something beautiful... 2.5 - 3 inches hollowed out body, I excpect a ton of sawdust, will have my eyegear and breathing mask ready to go, one time I did not cover my face and I had a crapload of brown sawdust in my nose, ears, all over, that was a nightmare

another day, 4-5 hours of jigsawing and routing and cleaning up, this wood is so hard, that i probably needed a bandsaw to do this , I cut each one to approx size and then routed the top and bottom to approx 1/4 inch, so much saw dust it was crazy

I like the "smurf hat" headstock

ehawley · March 13th, 2010, 12:48 PM

I like the "Mando" style scroll on the bout! Goes nice with the headstock!

started sanding with 40 grit, to really get the sides even on the body, its starting to look nice..
