New wood just in!

Stickered and stacked away for future guitars are these two stunning sets of wood. First is a gorgeous set of Macassar Ebony, next, a very nice set of Madagascar rosewood, large enough for my 0-12 model.

Some weekly progress!

Here we have Mark Cashmans E2 sides getting there linings.




Next, Jack Wills back is sized up to match the sides.



Lastly, John Creech's 14 fret Brazilian/Carpathian Dreadnought gets its linings.

John Creechs Brazilian Dread

One of the five guitars I have going right now is a Brazilian rosewood dreadnought for John Creech. Here are the bent sides and the back, which has been braced.






Also, Jack Wills second OMFS sides were bent today. As of today, All the sides for my Miami & Montreal show guitars have been bent as well as both of Jacks. After all the rims are blocked and kerfed I will be moving on to the tops.

Some New amazing Cocobolo!

I recently got ahold of these two very fine sets of Cocobolo. Both are large enough for my OM Fingerstylist model.
They are both four piece back sets. Please inquire if interested!

Check out John Creech playing his LS Redwood/Indian E2

Just listen to that VOICE! Oh, John sings nice too ;-)

Update on Mike Crixells Rosette

Its done!

Mike Crixells Brazilian Rosewood Rosette!

Here is the rosette Mike and I picked for his guitar, its a very slender piece of figured Brazilian rosewood framed with a black/koa/black purfling.

Setting up to cut the ring from the rosewood blank.



Here you can see the outside diameter has been cut.



Next the inside cut is made.




Here we have the ring after its been cut from the blank.




Next I cut the channel in the top to fit the ring into.




Now the Brazilian rosette is in, with the inner and outer purflings, next I will flood it with Cynoacrylic glue, and then level.





Tonight I will level the rosette and get some finished pictures up!

As always, thanks for reading my blog!
