Thanked: 13250Hats off Brother
Watch out the slippery slide into the dark abyss of being a restoration junkie is pretty fast....
It looks as though you are on your way
I love the look on the Curly Maple, I personally have never been fan of the Cedar family (not that it matters hehe) but the work looks nice and tight....
Good Job !!!!Last edited by gssixgun; 08-24-2009 at 04:05 PM.

Congrats on your firsts & lurrrrve the maple

very cool stuff. I think you are off to a great start. I will share something that I've run in to while learning to make scales and really when I was first learning to work with wood finishing for some guitars I was making with my brother... I've found that with finishes like poly I almost needed to do 220 grit between finishes until the very last finish layer so that the coats could properly grab each other... with very fine polishing between layers I often ran into peeling finishes. just a thought...
Great looking scales though
