New OM Claro Walnut with Spruce top #16

The frets are in.
Now on to carving the neck. I like using a small hand plane, spoke shave, chisels and micro planes to get this done. So far it's looking good.

Kevin,
How is the acces to the truss rod? Cannot see it.
Do you have to take off the neck to adjust?

[Kevin in California]

Herman. Normal access from sound hole with the neck installed.

[Herman]

Ok Thanks, Now I see. I thought you would not make a channel between de two nuts.

[Kevin in California]

Herman I was a little unsure about that through hole
making the block weak but it's glued to the fretboard and there is no stress in the area so it seems very stable.

I have the guitar pore filled and final sanded to 320.
It is about ready for the finish. I just need to drill and endpin jack hole. I will be putting a JJB Electronics Prestige 330 transducer pickup in this guitar.
About the same as the western mini.
As soon as weather permits I'll mask off as needed and start to spray the nitro.

[Kevin in California]

Spray booth is up. Just sprayed first coat of sealer.
Yah!

[Herman]

Nice garden Kevin!
This way of making a booth is an option for me.
I do it in the garage, but it makes a dusty mess and it is not very safe with the laquer fumes.
