MiKro Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) Hi All, This is what I got done this weekend. A new 3 piece redwood top glued up for a new acoustic build, also a new side bender made. Also received my heat blanket today from Blues CreekGuitars. VERY COOL it really helps the light box. See my tests pieces Spring back from just the lights is much greater. The new bender with the new heat blanket as well and the new top ( wood compliments of JON) and also got some more fill coats on the darkside guitar. almost ready to level sand and then put the finish coats on. Thanks for looking Mike Edited May 29, 2008 by MiKro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudz Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Looks like everything is going good, nice. Is that a resonator guitar top clock? Or a resonator top hanging around the same spot as a clock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a resonator top hanging around the same spot as a clock? That's the scrap of the RESO I started back in November. MK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiKro Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) Good work Mikro ! Is the large piece of wood in the last pic quilted maple ? and whats the piece just poking out behind it??? I think you knew that picture would make us curious i think the resoclock is a great idea Wez and Andro, The large piece is quilted,curly, birdseye maple 4/4in x 14-1/2in x 70in, AND the one behind is a billet of quilted mahogany 10/4 x 6-1/2in x 50 in. The maple is a very special piece as I have never found one quite like it. It was over 12 ft long It is being used on a fireplace surround I am building. I am going to try and keep enough for a set of sides and back for a 000 build. I have a great sitka spruce 4a top with bearclaw to use with it. As far as the clock that is the top of my reso build but the clock is not attached. My nephew keeps wanting me to add a fake neck and add the clock and make it a bar clock for his place Mike Edited May 30, 2008 by MiKro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
