Don't want old whats his name to find out I'm at it again

Based loosely on this .....sound-hole will go into a more center-ish{terminology?} location, waist is slightly wider, body slightly shallower, and I'm sure there will be other adjustments along the way :whistling:

Go ken!

Seconded! Digging the new shape as well, although old peanut was starting to grow on me

When you get bucked off get back on the horse (or maybe a different horse

)!

Well spotted Ted.

Good luck Ken said in my whispering voice so certain character don't hear

Just reminds me of one of my Granddad's lesser-used quotes: "A bird in the hand is just like riding a bicycle. You have to get back on or else the Rolling Stones will be gathering Kate Moss." Or something like that.

Happy Plug agrees!

Ken Cook · Sep 17, 2014

Thanks guys!

and I think I'll take a seat in honor of those with exemplary observation skills

Darren Wright · Sep 17, 2014

Oh nice, love that style of guitar. :thumb:

Vaughn McMillan · Sep 17, 2014

I'm seeing design opportunities here...

Or if that's too obvious, perhaps something a bit more subtle...

Jim C Bradley · Sep 17, 2014

Ted.

Thanks for a good laugh to get the day going (laughing just didn't seem appropriate at the gym or urologists office this morning). No problems, just checking PSA. I figured I better say that or I would get questions.

Moving a lot slower this time around :whistling:

Top is mahogany, made a circle cutting jig for my laminate trimmer, but didn't have any hardware on hand for tightening at desired length, so double-sided tape to the rescue...rosette channel and sound-hole > got 'er done :thumb:

That's a pencil line defining the center-line on the top, not a poor joint lol {for those who aren't familiar, these photo's can be enlarged a tad by clicking on them}

Back is Walnut with a mahogany center strip and a maple inlay strip...don't laugh too hard at my curly-cues, first time my sharpening attempts actually sharpened...somewhat

Back is ready for bracing now, front needs the rosette put in place and then it too will be ready for bracing. Then both will get the final trim...but I haven't figured out what I want to do for the rosette yet :huh:

so may be a bit of a wait or two

Carol Reed · Sep 19, 2014

Looking promising, but....

Ya know?

Darren Wright · Sep 19, 2014

Looking good Ken, thanks for taking us along on this. :lurk:

Ryan Mooney · Sep 20, 2014

I'll say no more lest we invoke the law as defined by Mr Smith.
