Jack's Guitar

I went ahead and started Jack O'Shea's guitar. It will be a single cut-away guitar. I planed the neck and cut the scarf joint. I will sand the joint smooth tomorrow and glue it on. Here it is clamped up waiting for glue.

Tim's Bass Part: 2

Did some more work to Tim's bass. I glued up the other wing. I also figured I'd go ahead and post the sketch of what the finished bass will look like.

Tim's Bass Part: 1

I am building a bass for Boston resident, Tim Dunn. It is going to be a 4 string neck through double cutaway. The Neck through section will be made of walnut, purpleheart, and maple veneer. The body wings will be a zebrawood top and back with a wenge core. The fingerboard will be cocobola.

Here are some shots of the first part of the build. Tim helped with some of the planing, sawing, and gluing.




We drew first blood on the project.















The cool thing about wood working is you can tell how much work you've done by how much saw dust you made!
