2018 Stephen Kinnaird Part 2
 

This is our roughly pic of the day thread from our shop. I hope you find some shots of guitars and building that you enjoy. Stop in from time to time and follow along.

In honor of Tom B’sox closing the first part, here’s a picture proving I was in San Antonio 10 days ago getting some inspiration at the San Antonio Missions National Park.

Thanks for following!

Don't let him fool you. That's the south end of our shop.

I must have stayed in the north end.

Looks familiar!!
 

This mission looks very much like ones we have visited in Oaxaca City, Mexico! I always get lots of inspiration there. And lots of yummy food And Mescal!

Cheers

Actually, as you rightly deserve, we put you in the West Wing!

:cool::cool::cool:

Are you guys running an internship program now??? Who is that strange man?

Not particularly an internship. A friend of ours wanted to pay us to help him build his first guitar. So we decided to offer our first Build Your Own Guitar class. Still working out the kinks of it, but we’re having fun. Maybe at some point this will become something more.

Cool. Keep us posted.

Ok. March 30: Last fitting before final sanding & finishing

Wow! I see that one is going to have a satin finish neck. Nice!

Nice, what is the back and side wood on this?

Well someday you are going to have to stop by...at least once I am down there myself!

Thanks Bill, that is a set of Indonesian Rosewood.

That looks great guys

Yay
 

This will result in more fabulous guitars in the world! A VERY GOOD THING!!!

Cheers

April 3: Steve says if you can guess this wood, he’ll dance at your wedding. I say if you can get it right, I’ll cut you a great deal on it. ;)

Eucalyptus?

Good guess, but no.

White Limba?

I’ll guess Myrtle. Pretty, whatever it is.

Was it once a table living in Florida?!

back and side set
 

Ovangkol for the winner;)

Let’s see...

Tom: Ha! No.

Haas: Nope.

Tucker: I hope not.

Father of Cod: Nyet.

Thought I nailed it for sure....here is white limba...I guess the pores are too big, but I thought the color was really close.

Attachment 7068

Next guess... Moena

We’ve built a “Black” Limba guitar that was a great instrument. Never had “White” Limba in the shop. I believe it’s the same wood with black figure or without. Kind of in the Walnut range of tone if I remember right.

Strike two on Moena.

Then I am going with (silly as it might seem) walnut.

Hmmm...

Mun Ebony?
