Well, I can say if you did not tell me it was a 4 piece back, there is no way I would have thought it were.

That side is a little easier with the lighting, the other side even that I think I know where it should be...

Woo Hoo, does this mean if I every get over to your shop some year I get the special wood locker tour

Truth be told, I wouldn't have known either

It’s actually easy to get the “exclusive” woodlocker tour, a $1000 retainer gets the ball rolling on your new guitar, woodlocker tour included. You will be unlikely to regret it.

Therein lies my folly, down the rabbit hole with no escape. And I'm sure I wouldn't regret it

Many otherwise reasonable people who go down this particular rabbit hole go down it again. What does that say?

Haha ... likely financial troubles for me but a lot of fun and good playing as well

The Royal mail will be waiting for you when you're ready!

Here's the first coat of oil varnish dried on the JB-15 D. tuc./Italian Spruce body:

Bruce Sexauer · #**265** 03-31-2018, 08:27 PM

Today I got the second coat of varnish onto the JB-15, and then I made Jatoba binding for the "Tree" FT-00. This picture shows the 2nd half of the top binding and purfling just wrapped on:

The wood binding is great. I am sick of seeing plastic trim on supposedly high end guitars.

The "tree" FT-00 I am making for the Vancouver Show is bound and I am on to the neck:

I don’t do really dumb stuff too much anymore when making Guitars, not that I don’t slipmwith the chisel and a multiple of other similar errors, but dumb stuff, not too much. The last couple of days were spent making a neck for the 00, and a fine 12 fret neck it was turning out to be. Unfortunately, this guitar is to be a 13 fret to body. So I spent today redoing yesterday’s work, but with another 5/8’ of neck length. A little humility is said to be good for a man.

Good on you Bruce.
