I recently finished a Brazilian OM that I made from some BRW that came from an 1840 antique Whatnot which is a small set of shelves. The Brazilian I got from the Whatnot gave me 2 back sets as well as bridge blanks and other small parts. If you would like to have a look it is here http://www.anzlf.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=4699 and I have also done a Youtube photo montage with sound here....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjpYDBsXd2M

Cheers

John

Looks great, you lucky duck!
I picked up an old solid mahogany dresser at Goodwill to reclaim the lumber. Needless to say, we now have a beautiful dresser but no new guitar.

That's great John! I keep looking in second hand shops hoping to come across a score that I could cut up. I'm pretty sure one of you guys was always there just before me. laughing6-hehe

Oh man, I was really liking the shelf unit thing. Seems sad to re-purpose something that nice. But the guitar looks great.

I respectfully disagree - I'll bet it sounds MUCH nicer that it used to. :mrgreen:

How cool is that!!!???!!!
Sweet looking build overall, the Braz is amazing under that sweet finish.
The snakewood bindings are pretty cool too.
Nice attention detail with the compensated nut.
