June 21: Summer Solstice

Part 3 of this thread already? Ok. I guess we’ll keep on going. I’ll post a pic that relates to the rosette that ended Part 2 of this thread.

Bending a 1/16” thick piece of high curl mahogany for the outer rings of a rosette.

Amazing!!!

Wow, every word they just came out of mouth would only show here as **** ******* **** **** ****!!!!!!

Man these are some gorgeous guitars.

Wow!! Beautiful! I love that grain!

Thank you gentlemen. That’s a pretty nice collection of compliments! We’ve always loved Walnut. It doesn’t hurt how pretty it can be either.

Dan, I’m going to have to come to Tasmania so you can teach me some of the native language. I want to be able to so emphatically share good thoughts too!

Steve, I’ve found myself just staring at your guitar on the bench. It’s coming soon and it blows me away like this one does.

You'll be more than welcome anytime! I think you'll pick up the lingo pretty quick!!:D:D

June 26: Fitting tuners

Ooh, I didn't see that today. Looks good.

I have to say I usually like smaller sized neck laminations but this really looks beautiful. What is the wood bordering the walnut.

I do like those tuners! Who makes them?

Bill, thanks that’s some dark Cuban Mahogany.

Stan, thanks those are Schertler tuners.

To properly convey what I am about to say.....you must imagine it to sound as if Porky Pig were saying it:

Well...that's some mighty fine looking Walnut that you've got there, Ryan...

Joel

Haha! Thanks Joel for the Porky Pig reference. I remember watching plenty of the Looney Tunes’ Merrie Melodies. I know this Walnut has some merry melodies in there too.
