for those not following me on instagram

I decided as I cant get and look at a timber yard that sells walnut and it seems walnut is super expensive anyway. I would use a bit of oak from B&Q for 7 quid! wrong colour but fuck it.

Image

All shaped roughly by hand
Image

and sanded into shape
Image

Next up is is to sand the whole body smooth and then experiment with how walnut and oak takes a very dark stain.
As I have gone off spraying it with a burst if I can help it!

I am hoping on a more traditional guitar shape it looks less metal and more just cool?

What do you mean? Isn't metal cool?

Maybe, dark open grain will probably always look slightly metal.

I kind of like how it works with white better personally

that looks superb and the grain needs to be seen. I like what Novo do with their guitars

Well, it did what it said on the tin (one for older uk scalers)

If the pictures are anything to go by that’s a really good job, it looks lovely.

Be sure and use a coaster when you set drinks on it.
