Default 2nd build in progress! How about a Sycamore 00C 12fret?

I have some wide to thin grain lined Adi for top wood. I think I will use a 100 year+ oak fence post from here on the farm for the neck wood. Here is the first step..... 2nd step. Fix band saw. The blade keeps jumping off.

A 00 based loosely on the Epiphone design ( a fatter butt than the Gibson 00)
The topside will be 3-3 1/2" at the upper top, 4-1/2 on the lower top and bout end. The Sycamore was rescued from a local burn pile. I let it sit in the wood room for a few months. Tim McKnight cut it down to board sets as a demo for McJam 09'. So, they have sat pressed in stickers for a touch over a year.



If it goes well maybe I will break out the stash of Snakewood binding
Wish me luck. Your input drives me!
