Really like that one, denim micarta should be an option that’s always available.

Nice cedar...... Great stuff for decking..........Pricey but worth jt...

This western red cedar was free. It used to be our fireplace mantle.
Going to make a super lightweight Telecaster.

I've never seen the conductive paint for the cavities in green. I've only ever seen the dark gray stuff, or copper tape.

I look forward to seeing the finished guitar - that cedar looks great!

Hey Modoc ED ! Duncan likes to dig like Abby does. But not to bury stuff, he's looking for something he can eat.

Got the spey blade out, but Ed is not going to the buckaroo roundup.

A cool and rainy day here in the City by the Bay. Supposed to clear up by the afternoon so we will see. In the meantime keeping me company with a nod to Wooden Wednesday I decided on these two beauties. Have a great day folks!

The whole world is aglow today with the color orange.

I'm really starting to like this 86. I'm not normally a fan of single blade traditionals, but this knife is one of the few exceptions.

Mornin Tyson!
That's just painter's masking tape to keep finish out of the cavities. I have not decided if I'll bother shielding on this one. It's kind of a PITA, and I'm not the best with soldering irons.
On my home built that I play regularly on Sundays, all I did was properly ground the pickups and bridge ~ no cavity shielding. No noise, no 60hz hum. Fender AVRI '62 pickups. We'll see with this one.
I'd planned on making this translucent white blond, but Vik outvoted me. So I put on a bunch of coats of danish oil. I'll let it cure for three days, and put on a clear coat. Haven't decided between french polished super blond shellac, or wipe on poly.
The poly would be easier, but the shellac will add a little color. Shellac is great to work with. And I have a mason jar mixed up and ready.
