Filippo, I found that statement humorous--from the guy who ran crown moulding in his shop!

And may you never. It's just that the legislator Murphy scrutinizes my work and seldom misses an opportunity to penalize me somehow...

Awesome post!!!!! Love the look. Also beats trying to find good grained wide stock for 8-10 stringers.

I love the fretboard, and the guitar, and the P-90s. I love your shop too. You are very lucky to have the tools to develop your own skills and style. Alot nice ideas, awesome job!

I got a gigantic hunk of cocobolo in the shop, and every single fingerboard that's made it on an instrument has been made from it. It's 2" thick, so I cut a chunk out, plane it, resaw it in half, join it, plane it again and do all the necessary fretboard procedures. The results are nice, but i don't like working with coco at all anymore. :(
