Did you build that body yourself? Yeah, I built the body anyway. And no I didn't do a building thread, I started it two years ago and hadn't been able to finish it until recently. I had developed some respiratory problems that made woodworking and finishing difficult.I got lucky and found a nice piece of black walnut at the local Rockler and it was enough board ft. to make three body blanks. Here's the other guitar I made with the wood,I did take some pictures along the way whilst i was building it I have to see if they survived the hard drive crash of last year.

Members hutchtoo Posted November 9, 2006 Members Share Posted November 9, 2006 That is really stunning. I take it you already had some fine carpentry skills before you started this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I still have all my fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
