End Graft
I started working on the sculpted end graft today;
I'm going to put an Olivewood end pin in there. I'm sure no one makes them so one job on tomorrow's list will be to spin my own. Olivewood is such a pleasure to carve. A bit of foreshadowing for the headstock and bridge.

I'm assuming the loss of a couple of tops is not something you normally take into account with the costs of a guitar?

Making a Olivewood end pin on a drill press;
That was fun! Cutting out an Olive Sprig sound port; That was not so much fun; That was hard!

Nerve-wracking, no doubt!
Looks great--a fantastic complement to the rosette!

Oh. My. (I know I need to extend my vocabulary but still.) Beautilicious. I want garlic bread and a good Red for some reason.

That makes so much sense to use to drill press as a lathe. I'm sure other people know that but that would not be inherent to me. But what a great solution. Now cutting that sound port, I might have had to have had a few glasses of Port before I even thought about attempting that.
