I heard Ted uses those shavings to make a mean spruce salad. Looks awesome, as always!

No, the wood shavings are responsible for the "overtones"...

Ted is finishing the binding this week and will send over photos when he is done....in the meantime he sent over some images of the work done on the end graft.
Cutting miters on the inlaid endgraft Fitting and gluing the cut out purfling. Ted states that a perfect miter should look like it's one piece thats inlaid and show no witness lines of glue or gaps. In order to get clean results for this process Ted use 3 different types of glue with different viscosity's and properties...I have no idea why this is or how it achieves the results it does The finished result. Until next time! Last edited by Scottish0177; 07-11-2017 at 01:20 AM. |

Haha, Thanks Scott! I don't actually drink coffee so I'm not sure I could take you up on that If I had a big enough shop I'd have apprentices by next year but it'll have to wait... My shop is a one-man shop at the moment, not really any room for a second body until I upgrade! Thank you once again for the compliments - I'll likely be posting a thread soon for the two guitars I'll be making for the Vancouver International Guitar Festival in June. So that should be fun!

Are you sure that is to keep the bindings from moving or is the guitar headed for a sarcophagus to be preserved for eternity with an Egyptian king?
ps. did you ever see the PM I sent you?
