Tony I am sure at least that you have an organized mind. I agree with you about your shop:)

I am sure you agree John! LOL
I know where the important stuff is. And really, most of the mess is clutter. Just crap that I should organize better or throw away. I just hate doing that organization stuff. So boring when there are guitars waiting to be made!!

Tony, are you not planning on installing the little anti-split brace thingies on the walnut rim?

I did install them, though not when the pic was taken. Just finished them last night actually. Nice catch though! On the rim for the black limba guitar, I only rounded the corner of the neck block in the pic as well! I subsequently rounded the other corner.
I finished the soundboard for the black limba guitar last night. Added the popsicle brace and the sound hole braces. No pics though. I think the most important parts have been photographed and posted already.

Damn, your shop is a fire hazard, Tony! You should sell the mustang and use the entire garage as a shop :D

Nah! Do you know what it would cost for me to replace that car? Well I don't either, but I am sure its not cheap! I need to get that thing back on the road.

I sanded the top a bit and wiped it with some naphtha so see what it would look like. I like it a lot!


I am quite fond of tops with some color or interesting grains like the tiny bear claw streaks and coloring on this top. Straight grain wood is boring! When I start to use it a lot, I wil say it is cool, but for now, I like interesting looking tops!
