Bubinga Veneered Shark Vee Job...

If this gets pinned, I'll edit in a boatload of notes. If not, the pics are pretty self-explanatory as they sit, I'll just let it roll on down as is. :D

But to fill in the basics:

I started this about 3 months ago or so...

3/4" quartersawn Walnut on top

3/4" Honduran Mahogony under that

1/4" Eastern Maple on the bottom.

I used the Maple to bring it up to 1 3/4" in case I decided to Floyd it, that's why it's there...but I don't think I'm going to in the end...probably another TOM/Stop thang.

Veneer is Waterfall Bubinga from the 'bay.

Sides are pattern-matched to the top

The back has a rear body bout on it now

The control cavity has also been routered out

The finish that is on it is Tru-Oil, but it will be shellaced and lacquered by the end.

I will most likely add in some Blood Red Solar Lux as a light toner before all is said and done.

It looked kinda cool as it was, I almost left it without binding, it has a kind of 'butcher block' look to it, but when it's glossy and finished, the binding will be worth it.

I'm thinking of using Pearl binding for it,maybe B/W/Pearl...not sure yet...

The post would only take 10 pics, that's why it's broken up into 2 threads.

Later Gators! B)
