Hey Scott,
I havent had alot of time to work on the guitar lately, I did finish the binding, and started the pour filling with tru-oil. I'm not going to use the fret board, I just cann't stand the black mop. I'm going to order an ebony fret board and start over. Stu

For those of you who have never worked with ziricote, this picture will give you a pretty good idea how porous this wood is.

Usually, "materials" are used to fill the pores rather than using the finish material itself. Using "materials" fills the pores much faster.

Three regular coats, 4th coat wet sanded with 400 grit and let the "slurry" fill the pores 5th coat just applied in less than 24 hours. Most pores are filled. I will wet sand again on coat 8 with 600 grit and I should be done.

Neck is carved and fit, sorry about the washed out picture will do another later.
My sweetie talked me into using the original finger board, I think she is adopting this one, she is calling it the "Deb"

It is looking very slick Stuw. I like the cliche palm inlay and am working on a guitar that I am calling "Rose Cliche" after its headstock inlay.

One other thing I meant to add Stuw was that the shape is quite masculine, was it your own design or did you use plans?

The palm tree theme continues (maybe) I made up this bridge but not sure I'm going to use it yet. Post up some pictures of your "rose" guitar, I would love to see them. No prints, I traced a old JD Player dread I've had for years, went from there to make it my own. Better view of the neck with out the sun glare.

Thanks Stuw, I will get around to posting "Rose Cliche" sooner or later. Maybe I should put it in this section as it is not technically a custom but it is certainly a build.
Jim Someone please turn up the Tele! |

Looking good, Stu. I like the way the grain goes across on the back of the headstock. Looks nice.

Looking good! I have a zircote I built that is just a year old. It is very sensitive to humidity and has developed a couple of cracks. Cant say I baby my guitars tho...but it does not have to change much for a lot of movement. Keep it stable would be my advice..

Thanks Bob, I was a little worried about how the neck was going to turn out, but I am happy with the end result. Jim I noticed you started your build thread, and will go look at it next. I haven't been near a computer or my shop for about a week. I'm out in PA visiting my daughter and her family and getting to know the newest addition to our family, my new granddaughter.
