killahworm Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Okay finally got my a** of the ground and started building my first guitar. Actually it is my father who has done most of the work, as h is most skilled with the tools(being a retired carpenter and all...) He whipped out the old chainsaw and had a go at my appletree log... then we put it on the tablesaw, but it was too small to cut through the log so we are going to talk to a neighbour who has a bigger one... And no it is not flames or any fancy figure in the wood, its only marks from the chainsaw. the dark line is from where we cut with the tablesaw... And i think it is a very hard wood. the sparks were flying, and my dad used a long time to cut of one of the sides. we didn't want to use the chainsaw to cut the rest, because it takes out way too much wood, and its difficult to get a straight edge... anyhow this is my first build, and to my knowledge the first in this forum from appletree, so this is an experiment in more ways than one... and here is the page to view it all...Killah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asm Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 and how many months/years are you gonna let that big huge slab dry before you can make anything out of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon Headen Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 as I recall it's been sitting in his attic for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killahworm Posted August 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 if that piece isn't dry then i don't know which pieces will be.. it was chopped down some ten years ago. and it has been lying in an attic, my only concern is that it has some cracks, and i don't know how deep they are...
