No worries Jay. Cocobolo is tough stuff and there's not that much pressure on it anyway.

Humpday Update. Clamps are off and started the bridge... no pics of bridge yet.







Enjoy!

Thank you Travis. I'm excited to get her done too and have a little couch guitar.

So close to being done... next up, dreadnought!

Weekend Update.. shellac sealer coat with brush. I'll have to sand this back and spray it. My cocobolo is super oily and likes to stain my maple. Any tips and tricks are welcome! Main finish will be nitrocellulose lacquer.







Enjoy!
