This will be my last project before the winter hibernation sets in. There were a few bits on the wood pile that really needed used up.....
33 " Scale 4 String
Body
London Plane
Olive Ash
Neck
Padauk
London Plane
Still trying to use native species and keep the air miles down decided on some gnarly London Plane for the top. There is some nice burr on this with some interesting swirly grain and a little of the Lacewood pattern...
Rippled Olive Ash on the back,...
I wasn't able to salvage enough Ash for the Control cavity cover so i'll use some Pippy Plane to go with the headstock veneers.
After a good few tweaks i now finally have a shape that i am very happy with, so this was commited to a template, which i then used to rough out the body.
Padauk neck...with template
and finally the headstock veneers taken from the same London Plane board ..
Should get the majority of this finished this year .......although applying the finish is another matter.
Hope youz enjoy ..
