Part 4 - Peghead Inlay.
The goal was to come up with a special inlay design to honor Brayden's birth. Many, many, many ideas came and went but we settled on the Celtic Tree concept. A few versions later and the design was set. This design was so intricate I decided to work with the fine folks at Pearlworks to make the design a reality. Boy, am I glad I did. Some MOP and Gold MOP - added some engraving and the result was beautiful. Computer concept and rough inlay: IMG_1808.jpg IMG_2886.jpg Sanded to 320 and put back on the CNC for the indexing, truss rod access cut out and shape scored. IMG_1858.jpg IMG_1866.jpg Positioning for gluing down IMG_2031.jpg Final result. Can't wait to see this under finish. IMG_2068.jpg Last edited by MorrisseyGuitar; 10-21-2020 at 05:40 AM. |

Part 5 - remaining build and Finish
Here is the final result of the soundport. It's kind of a pinwheel flower design IMG_1853-2.jpg IMG_1854.jpg Body is ready for finish IMG_2077.jpg Shiny Time. IMG_2238.jpg IMG_2237.jpg IMG_2236.jpg IMG_2239.jpg Back on the bench IMG_2244.jpg IMG_2247.jpg Bridge pin choices. I love the pins I get from Bob Colosi at Custom Guitar Saddles. Dylan chose the Fozzalized walrus. (B String). BRW bridge which will match the color tone of the Sinker Redwood when polished with some linseed oil/bees wax. And you may have noticed the 3/16 saddle blank. The extra 1/16 allows more room for perfect intonation. However, I do offer both 1/8 and 3/16. IMG_2280.jpg Now for the Glamour shots _DSC9758.jpg _DSC9749.jpg _DSC9692.jpg _DSC9721.jpg _DSC9717.jpg _DSC9767.jpg This build was quite the journey. I expanded my skill set, work methods, and like many builds, ...New Jigs. Special thanks to Dylan for the opportunity, his input, vision and patience. Thanks for following Patrick |
