"It kinda looks closer to a parlor rather than an OM..."

It turns out my resolution setting on my monitor made it look like a parlor. Now that I changed it, it looks like an OM now... and still looks really nice.

Beautiful work George. Thanks for sharing!

I have a piece of walnut that I'm planning to make a neck out of. I've only used Mahogany up to this point.

How did the neck carving go?

Kevin,
This is the second neck I've made from walnut and both were very easy for me to shape. I use a bandsaw, coping saw, rasp, curved sole spokeshave, cabinet scraper, spindle sander, and sandpaper ... I think that's it. [:Y:]
