Walnut Hollowbody Build

[Elias Graves]

I may go veneer shopping.

 

[Peeker]

is that like picking up hookers?

 

[Elias Graves]

Kinda, but only the top layer.



Feeling better about it with the stain.

 

[Peeker]

OOOOH!

lookin' mighty nice!

 

[Elias Graves]

Thanks. I think I can live with that.
Not a big fan of the flat sawn look but, oh well. Walnut doesn't offer up many big pieces of quarter sawn.

 

[Peeker]

I think it looks really good.
and I'm only half-sawn myelf right now

 

[Elias Graves]

Down to 9 pounds.

Thanks. Trying to finalize the shape now.
The inner line is a direct trace of a les paul. The outer one is a trace of the same guitar with a spacer on the pencil.

 

[Elias Graves]

This was my alley kat. I like the shape and feel. Trying to get close.

a spacer on the pencil.

Cool tool for stuff like that:

"It's the Perfect Butt."

bigger Les Paul looks good.

 

[Elias Graves]

Don't you just love surprises?


No.

 

[Peeker]

oooooh...:(

 

[Peeker]

can you fill it with "whatever"?
I know it's not ideal, but...

 

[Mark Wein]

:(

 

[telecaster911]

Awwww man :(

 

[jelloman]

Ouch...:(

...that's gonna be tough...filler won't color match and plugging it's gonna be unbelievably difficult...

 

[Peeker]

oh, right, you aren't planning to paint...forgot about that.

would filler do the trick if it was to be painted, though?
