Thought these were lost somewhere between customs office and shipping company. But no, finally after about a month of waiting they are here. Best strings and plectrums from #winspearinstrumental

The cover for the truss rod is now also finished. It is held in place with a small magnet.

In May I'll be in a group exhibition, time to think about some new prints or drawings.

Another box I've build. No cool dovetails. It actually was part of a work safety course I gave. Just added some handtool artsy stuff...

Time to start the cavity for the electrics. The lid is made of walnut and maple veneer panel, treated with urushi oil. It creates a silky matt, fine sheen and emphasizes the grain nicely.
Now there's a lot of chiseling to be done.

I built this #cabinet to learn various techniques with hand tools.
I used #Kumiko to fill the door. For the larger surfaces (cabinet back wall and door) I veneered multiplex. Saraifo veneer was used. The body was fitted with #dovetail joints and the door with mortise and tenon.

So, I'm still building my first guitar from scratch. I've already posted some pics on IG but I want to fill this feed with live, so here we go again.
