Waiting for my ebony order to come in for #1. Worked on rosette for #2 today, may be too much, but hey 10 feet of shell isn't? |

Filippo Morelli wrote: Might do well with some 0.010" to give a cleaner break against the spruce. Filippo I appreciate your comment and understand your point. But please understand I am trying to eliminate the paint by numbers black outline nature of common guitar trim. In my opinion it looks primitive and cartoonish. I understand my technique is imperfect but I put the rosette of #2 together in 2 hours. Realizing things quickly has been a cronic motivator of all of my artistic endeavors for 40 years. Because something is common does not mean it is correct. I read endlessly that this is the golden age of guitar making, so make it so. T |

[quote="Mike Lindstrom"]I love it! Any tips on doing the stopped channels? Looking forward to seeing the rest of the guitar. Miek[/quote I'm cutting the channels on an overarm router, it allows very easy plunging, you're not hand holding a tool that may move. I use a custom variable radius fixture I have developed for furniture part and inlay shaping, it makes cutting these channels a breeze. I need to refine my inlay veneer cutting technique to eliminate grain walk with a more rigid contact adhesive than I have needed for furniture inlay, some of the cuts are 4-6 thousands off. I am trying not to use fiber filler as I view it as refined putty not to mention its paint by numbers visual quality. I appreciate your reply. T. |
