Cut to shape now ready for sanding and final shaping. Not sure of final results but have noticed one thing, with it being rosewood it is quite heavy. Adding reading compounds the weight bit more. So if anybody knows any weight lifters who play guitar let me know , they can have a workout at the same time. -
I think you are far to critical of yourself. yes it’s there, but only with close scrutiny and a very very minor thing. As I tell people these things are made by hand there will always be something to say could be better. If you want perfection then buy a machine made by the thousands guitar .if you want character then make by hand.

Have decided for my next build to try a little experiment for me anyway. How about a full front resin insert I thought. So here goes.

Can’t wait to see the next stage. I made a jig just like that years ago and works fine for me to. Love the veneer strips. Have tried this myself but without any luck as slippage and not centrally aligned at time but seeing how you have done this is great. Can’t wait to see more.

Another build from my second hand table . 2 piece solid rosewood body rosewood neck and rosewood fretboard. all 100% recycled 100% made by myself including maple fret markers.

I have also thought long and hard about how to finish my guitars so far I have used textured paint , polyurethane satin, and nitrocellulose gloss clear coat. I find textured paint hides a lot of blemishes while nitrocellulose gives a deep gloss shine. I have just purchased some teak oil for my next project and will post pics when done.

Got a lot more pics if you want to see after cutting and planning?.

Sorry for not explaining enough. the table was purchased from GumtreeUK £450. the only problem with rosewood is the weight, this took 3 of us to carry. as you can see it is or was 60mm thick took 2 days to cut and plane in my shed. with the legs I have enough for 12 bodies 8 necks 18 fretboards although the one pictured is wenge fretboard. it is a rather heavy guitar as you can imagine. About me well this is my hobby and I build in my shed in the garden. All guitars are cut shaped routed by hand as I don’t have cnc just a bandsaw and Agee other bits and bobs. have already made a reverse explorer with this table . If anyone wants to see let me know and I will post.
