    On kyllä pirun hienosti väsätty! tervaleppä on erittäin hyvää puuta bodeihin. ...and the same in english.

    I knew you would say that. My local wood supplier mostly has very healthy supply of Wenge...... I haven't used it on body though.... might go that route in future. Wenge is one of my favorite woods. It just has so much character. But I don't have to tell you. ← don't forget to use a mask when ur working with wenge. i've heard it's somewhat toxic.. is that true?

    all i can say is that ur work is very clean. nice woods too. i should invest in some special tools too. the bending iron i've used before is basically a block of brass that i've heated on the stove i also haven't got those small fingerplanes.. i made one with a 1cm wide blade, but it's not small enough.

    Reminds me more of a viol de gamba, but I think those are closer to the size of a 'cello. ← ur right the head carve really makes it look alot like viola da gamba.. but as you said, they're bigger. mine is gonna have metal frets instead of gut frets too.

    i can't wait to see matt finish his violin.. i've built a few just for fun and i really can see he's very talented and his work is way better than mine. but then again, i'm an amateur i was just thinking about making a new fretted one for my own use. one with a modern design without a scroll or corner blocks. maybe even a viola.. gotta think about it.. yeah it's gonna be a 6 stringer. it's actually more like a viola. i thought about using fret markers at first, but i realized that i couldn't see them at all when i was in the playing position.

    i was wondering how i could put my CRAPPY old and broken german violin in to use. so.. a little experimenting lead to this. at least i can play with decent intonation and do the vibrato pretty much the same way i do with a guitar i've also posted THIS before, but in case you didn't see it...

    i must admit that i wasn't much impressed by the first drawing of the bass.. but then i saw those pictures and i must say that is one COOL bass! keep up the good work dude.

    also make sure that the string slides easily over the nut.

    i covered the rosewood fingerboard on my fretless bass with clear polyurethane. looks and feels just great. ofcourse my roundwound strings are scratching the surface and i need to refinish it in a few years. still better than letting the strings eat the wood.

    i prefer the cheap asian tuners they have at the local music store.. they're very close copies of regular gotoh tuners and are very stable. oh did i mention that they're also very cheap? though i'd like a little lighter tuners on my doubleneck.

    the "ink" laser printers use is actually more like powder. i don't believe it would run.

    i admire your desing man.. very cool guitar

    very impressive man! i've come to conclusion that i definately like natural finishes over painted or stained ones.. very beautiful work man.

    Yeah but the vintage g-400 sg is really mahogany.. it doesn't have a thick coat of shiny poly over it, so it's much easier to see.

    that wood looks nice.. i would scream if someone would offer me a free body that ain't gonna happen since i life in the land of snow and i don't have any money how's sapele then.. is it softer than honduras mahogany?

    i inlayed a small triangle in the place of a fret dot on my bass and felt good about myself.. until i saw your inlay that is.. now i wanna burn it
