I just strung up this Adi Spruce and Claro Walnut 00 guitar. It is an X braced guitar that I made for a nephew (actually on commission from his wife for their anniversary). It sounds good for this early. I will let it set for a day or 2 and do the final setup. The rosette, headstock veneer, tail wedge and heel cap are amboyna burl. The bindings are Australian Blackwood. I purchased the walnut from the classifieds on this site. .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg)

John: Did you torrify the wood yourself and what was your process? I love the way you did the walnut back. Bob

Sweet looking guitar, John. That's one of my favorite sizes/configurations. I agree that the way you joined the back is beautiful work and that amboyna really pops. Your nephew is a lucky man. |

Thanks all for the kind comments. unkabob wrote: John: Did you torrify the wood yourself and what was your process? I love the way you did the walnut back. Bob Bob I purchased the top from John Hall. I am not sure what the process was. I thought this guitar was a good opportunity to try it out. I had not problems working with the torrified wood. Its stiffness vs density was on the good side of an Adi top. I am interested in hearing how it sounds over the next week as it gets broken in. |

Love the woods. You got that "Traditional " vibe down pat with a modern feel. Nice work John. |

Is that sapwood creeping into the scene in the head stock? I'm picturing the crow is watching the night from an old Live Oak tree with Spanish moss draping down on a steamy night in Savanna or something like that

Nice work! Where do you mount a vise on your workbench? Corner or side pocket?

Thanks all for the kind comments. The head stock with sap came from a block of amboyna burl that I resawed. .jpg)
