Both padauk tops and backs for both guitars are now roughed out... Pictured here is the really cool old coping saw Tim has with he and I using it on our tops and backs... Also pictured is the padauk cut to shape sitting on Tim's guitar... Is that thing cool or what?!! Very Happy

This will take two posts. Watch for the second one...

I'll start you off with the latest shot of my prototype but without a little finishing touch on my headstock that occurred later in the day... It'll give you an idea of what it will look like finished though...

The next two shots show how I cut the electronics access panel of the padauk back by hand with Tim's coping saw. He questioned my technique with the tool, but came quickly to understand my method... He knows so much ablut tools and woodworking that it is a special treat for me to be able to show him something new...

The next three are of the neck I finished.

Next is gluing up the back of my guitar to the mahogany frame...

Look for next post to see the rest... Boggs

Next, you will see the homemade router base plate and Tim using it on his guitar top...

The result was spectacular!!
