My space in flickr album for this month have gone........

Hi everyone!! Thanks a looooot

I forgot to check the "notify by mail" button.

Very nice work my friend, it looks great! I like how clean the body shape is and the carves look very cool. The neck is also look fantastic. Just curious, what type of wood is the neck? Your work is very nice and I can't wait to see how it turns out! Good luck! J

Hello again! As I live in brazil, those are some local special woods. For the body, I used "Cedro-Rosa" from mahogny family. For the neck I used "Pau-Marfim", Leo Fender once came here and aproved this wood as Fender quality construction wood. For the fingerboard I used Ebony.

Look the pictures below...

Thanks A lot!

looks like black limba

Already Answered! Thanks a lot!!

That was exactly my first thought, but I really couldn't say for certain from those pics and I have come across some less common woods that have a similar tone to certain shades that black limba can have. I can't even begin to remember their names now, but I had taken a few pics and posted them a while back. I had found them at rockler and they didn't even know anything about them really. In the pics they don't look like much, but I know if I had wiped them down, people would have been drooling. Anyhow, I'm with you in sticking with b.limba for now, but I'm just curious if thats what it is. We shall see. J

Thanks!!

Check it out people!!!

I didnt understand how you did the carving courves with the orbit sander...

You just routed the edge limit carve and then sanded with orbit sander? I cant realize how the orbit sander could carve those incredible curves!

Thanks!

How do you think to carve this top?

Jungleboy, sorry I don't speak Portuguese. I have an uncle who lived in Sao Paulo and he spoke fluent Portuguese if he was still alive I could ask him to translate.

Good Luck!!!

Oh, dont worry about it!

I am very thanks, it is just a question of time.

I am on my work so I dont have time right now!

I didnt think about glue it with epoxi glue! Very good idea, does it hold well?

But once again, Thank you!

Dont worry about it!

Jungleboy,

I would go to a real hardware store one of the oldest in town and search through all of the mill-smooth- bastard files they have. They usually have them in a box individually wrapped in brown waxed paper. The big box home improvement stores will not let you open the packages. I prefer an 8 inch. I pick each one up and sight down both faces looking for the flattest I can find. They are not all created equal. Then I put the file in a vise after scoring a cut where the tang (Pointy part) joins the file body with a Dremel sizz wheel. Then smack it with a hammer and it will break off cleanly. (Wear eye protection). Then I stone grind the end smooth. I find an 8 inch long scrap of flat suitable wood, usually Maple and again look for the crown side of the file before using two part epoxy to glue the file, crown side up to the piece of wood. Then I belt sand the handle flush to the edges of the file. I also grind a slight bevel on the leading tip of the file. You can get art-sey/fart-sey and grind finger grip dimples into the sides with one on top for your index finger and coat the wood with lacquer if you're into that kind of thing.

WOW!!!

THANK YOU MAN!!
