skibum5545 Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 I got my wood planed today, will start building the body next week (school's off for midwinter break). Me and my black walnut. It's 1.75" thick, and we'll be using about 24 inches out of the middle. While we were at the mill (whitmore lake, MI) we bought from them a piece of 1/8" thick wenge for the control cavity cover: This is the wenge (left) and the walnut (right) side by side, with a little water on them to add some color, and give an idea of what they'll look like when completed.

skibum5545 Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Unfortunately, the bandsaw isnt in working order (and yes, it's a Delta). My dad got it from a friend many years ago, and never got around to fixing it. Luckily, a carpenter friend of ours will be able to use his bandsaw to cut out the body for us. And the 60's will NEVER DIE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
