Dom in Dorset Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 I've spent the morning finishing applying the binding on the travel guitar and made a start on carving the bass neck.

Dom in Dorset Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 Remember my post on April fools day about making a guitar out of wood ash?

So to prove it one way or another I'm giving it a try on a small scale. I'm using ash from the fire pit that we used last night. After removing any large lumps or unburnt bits I added wood glue and water. Stir and leave to settle, not sure how long it will take to dry.....

Dom in Dorset Posted 10 hours ago Author Share Posted 10 hours ago First coat of lacquer on the travel guitar, it will take a few more coats and two weeks to cure. I'll be back on the denim bass soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
