A real Axe


Recommended Posts

So I had some spare off cuts from other projects and decided to do a fun build. 
This is based off a bass made by Hembry Guitars.

I made some adjustments to the size and shape and making a guitar.  Here's a print out template.

Body cut out.   I decided against the horn coming out of the head of the skull because I think it would have poked me in the stomach while playing it.

Neck, bridge and pickup all routed out.

Filling the grain and cracks with epoxy

That's it for today.  Let it dry and sand down tomorrow.
