I have some ongoing projects to share. For now I had to rest the arms because this rosewood is sooo dang hard ! I've been at it over an hour with 60 and 80 grits and it's maybe two thirds there. I even screwed the radius block to my 1/4 sheet sander, worked great for two minutes, but the plastic threads in the sander heated and failed. I am back to good ol' elbow grease while meditating on playing this soon to be 30" scale 6 string instrument. The neck is a cocobolo ,that's gonna be another workout to carve and sand. The body is a single chunk of mango(pics soon).
...just a little more...
I've thought about making it fretless because...the Grain! It's gonna get frets, I'll play it much more.
I'll post progress pics , stayed tuned
