And, speaking of inlay, while scrolling through YouTube feed, this thumbnail leapt out. From a company selling crushed MOP for "one of the easiest way to do inlay".
May be easy, but my word that is horrible. I'll stick to hard.*
*And, before anyone says "But what about CNC. Surely that must be easier." Yes, but, $$$.
[ScottyVoice] Captain, there be acorns here! [/ScottyVoice]
I like the flame in the walnut. Very cool!the walnut's color
Looks delicious!Anyone for an ice cream sandwich?
It most certainly does!Looks delicious!
Rosewood. I thought it would compliment the cedar and walnut more than ebony.It most certainly does!
Man, Chris, I can't wait to see that flamey walnut all polished up! What are you using for the fingerboard? If you haven't chosen it already, I think some of that Crelicam streaky ebony would look crazy!!!!!
I think we're thinking right up the same alley, Chris (sorry, I think I mixed metaphors there)... The striped ebony from Cameroon actually looks a lot like that rosewood board you're using, except for the reddish tints. It's gonna' look spectacular with rosewood, Chris!!!!Rosewood. I thought it would compliment the cedar and walnut more than ebony.
In Jr. High, but not that I remember anything from it. It’s just rulers, squares, and French curves. And trial and error.Neat! Did you take mechanical drawing in school?
Ah, the universal process !…And trial and error.
I didn’t start building until I’d bought my house and started with a woodworking workshop in a 1 car garage outbuilding. My property is surrounded by oaks and the acorns can get very loud when they hit the outbuilding roof.Ah, the universal process !
The best way to find the strings you like, to decide on the lyrics that work, to decide exactly what instrument you prefer,
to discover what works in love, marriage and war…
Chris; I really like the “Acorn” headstock touch. It’s subtle, humble, suggestive and artistic.
It’s very likely I missed something over the years; what brought you to “AcornHouse”?
At some time in the past did you work extensively with Oak?
I have thought the same on every Instrument he builds.Aha !
That answer alone is almost enough to make me want to be a customer…
