Tele-48 MockyBird

Decided to do a build with parts I have hanging around to clear the decks.

I had a block of Black Limba and a P bass Lyte neck - beautiful feeling thing it is.

Mocked up my own shape with obvious influences, and did all the carving via hand with my Japanese pull saws, spoke shaves,  Chisels and a Shinto saw. The rounding off was with a router as is the neck pocket, I did a heap of sanding via hand, but I did weaken and use an orbital sander and an oscillating one to finish off.

The current state is with tinted grain filler from Rothko Frost (great company) and I will Tru-oil finish it (it’s actually gun oil)

I do like a gnarly bit of wood look

Bit more progress on this - routes and now going through the oiling stage - apologies for the low light on a couple - it’s in me shed.

The block of wood above the full length shot is for the next build!

The block started at 5kg - this is hovering at around 2kg no hardware so should be nice and light
