LOL!! Pretty much my reaction as well.
Ok, so where were we?
Here's the finished end wedge.
And here it is darkened up with naphtha. I am so happy with the colors and contrast
.
And with the neck in position...
And with only a few more tweaks before finishing, here's a frontal
And a "backal" ("rearal"? "non-frontal"?)
I may get a couple more, and if so, I'll post, but otherwise, it could be 6 weeks before it comes back from the finisher, so there might be a brief hiatus, wherein I will get to enjoy the other build threads and doing my best to divest myself of a few more guitars. As always, I appreciate the comments and the companionship as this progresses!!
