A little over a year ago, in December 2023, the night before going home for the holidays I pulled this Epiphone dreadnought out of a dumpster and couldn't recover the headstock, so I've been building one out of some wood I tore off of a pallet. I've been learning and re-learning a lot of how to do exactly this kind of thing, but it holds up under its own weight.

I think it's starting to look like something. Now I'm not sure if I want to repaint it in white (it's more my colour, oddly) or if I want to take off all of that poly and just put linseed oil or pine tar on it, and wear that sloppy joinery on the neck as a badge of honour. If anybody really cares about this detail, but I haven't used any power tools on this project - it's a self-imposed limitation.
