Hunter Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Are those veneered, or did you inlay them into the body, like that one company, Thorn, did? Edited September 17, 2005 by Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 The natural faux binding looks nice Derek; did you mask it off before staining, or stain then rout the roundover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Very nice woods indeed, but the faux bindings look a bit cheap to me But it's a matter of taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdguitars Posted September 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 personally I dont' like the faux binding on a burl but it just kinda happend. I stained the tops with some sort of color then tru-oil it to get some seal, and protection, then did the roundover. Hunter not sure what you mean, Full 1/4 burl tops that I resawed myself. Thanks, Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 OH. Lmfao, I'm so stupid. I thought that the "Faux Binding" was the actual body wood, and the Burl was a veneer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 OH. Lmfao, I'm so stupid. I thought that the "Faux Binding" was the actual body wood, and the Burl was a veneer. Thats exactly what I thought too! They look good, I might have gone with a slightly smaller binding and a tad less of a roundover, but maybe after seeing them in person I wouldn't think that. They look great none the less. Also you have binding on the backs as well right? At least one of them looks that way. What kind of binding is it? Home made? Good stuff man.
