That is some lovely looking wood...congrats on your project with Rory and it also looks like our rosettes/veneers are from the same cut of burl. He sent me the same photo. Burl brothers!
Best,

I feel properly invested in this build - which is great as miner's now in finishing so there are no more photos (although I'm pretty sure I saw a glimpse of it on Instagram yesterday). How excited are you seeing it comes together? I loved seeing the process in detail.

As mentioned before, I am a very average player, so this is also about inspiring me to just play and practice more... a guitar you just can't put down. I think your new and body were in the spray booth with a few of its siblings so not long to go for you now? Last edited by FrankCousins; 09-24-2021 at 02:18 PM. |

In the spray room for a few weeks so trying hard not to get too excited, but really hoping it's coming soon! Totally agree about being like a kid at Christmas. The pictures are like the world's greatest advent calendar!

Latest updates from Rory in Pittenweem ;-)
Back now braced with Rory's compression bracing 243648314_1013861142743374_5897338099266313166_n by frankscousin, on Flickr 243448953_216727247113042_4601441648649497532_n by frankscousin, on Flickr Next up the Burl veneer that Rory will line the sides with. The side construction is a triple sandwich: the solid Mad rose is given full width linings to which this veneer is laminated - Rory offers a selection here, but I went for the burl to match the external accents on the head plate, rosette and heel cap 243811838_1541100216223509_8093396061517978752_n by frankscousin, on Flickr 243645677_4406363919450537_4973545312440326344_n by frankscousin, on Flickr 243587275_385400649891022_8711672942302480317_n by frankscousin, on Flickr Finally, neck scarf joint being all glued up. I went for cuban mahogany 2 slices with a purple heart thin accent 243721106_252192823518245_8215586635470386340_n by frankscousin, on Flickr 243619722_1047668735986023_819562439527064312_n by frankscousin, on Flickr |

Beautiful woods and most interesting build sequences.
There is a lot of structure on those sides. In what part of scotland are you presently living?
