Im almost finished, just putting on the last coats of poly. Its a 5 string fretless neck thru with:
5 piece maple/walnut neck thru
Cocobolo fretless fingerboard
Walnut body wings
Cocobolo Top
Badass V bridge
Bartolini CBJD's
Bartolini pre
The wood
This is my makeshift planer until I buy a dewalt 735 after my furniture customers pay me
The planed down cocobolo fingerboard
Cutting out the pieces to the neck
The 5 neck pieces
Not glued yet, but just for asthetic value
Glued and clamped neck
finished and sanded
I skipped a little bit of picture taking opportunities but heres the body wings after being glued
my first scarf joint
Truss rod and Channel
clamping the fretboard
After the excess wood was taken off the neck and flushed up to the fingerboard i glued the wings on
I thought I was done with shaping the neck here, but i decided later to modify it
Im in the process of polyurethaning, My niece is in the house for a few weeks so im not polying because of the fumes but this picture is after the fingerboard was epoxied and the tape was taken off of the fingerboard while im not working on anything. This was also taken after i sanded the 3rd coat
Im using gold knobs and a gold bridge with all gold hardware
and heres a quick picture of one of the cabinets i just built for a friend, although its not out of a hardwood (not my choice) i think it came out nice (this is my other hobby) oh yea, and that's my shop in the background, aka my garage
