Hey JNH welcome to the OLF! [:Y:] [clap] [clap] [clap]

I noticed that you are in Canton - I am about 35 miles away from you and we have a bunch of members not far from you too.

Great to have you here AND your guitars look killer too!!!

northville eh? I do alot of work in northville. mostly renovations and a whole lot of librarys, and bars..

Mark that looks like a purty lumber pile. do you have a bandmill? I'm about 10k short of buying a nice used woodmizer..

Also if anybody needs to use a widebelt sander, I have one here at my shop.

your spot on Michael. I'm still tinkering with the final design, the more I carve it , the more it changes. im pretty sure that the end result will be a mix of inarsia and inlay.. this is just another example of how easy it is to get carried away by the intoxicating fumes of nice hardwoods...

I mill my own lumber with a csm.I like the idea of building a guitar from the tree i cut down.That makes the whole guitar totally hand built from start to finish. ;) The csm works so good at milling, i haven't even thought of getting a bandmill.Too much trouble sharping blades all the time.And having to bring a tree to the mill.I mill in the woods right where i drop the tree.
