Cameroo:
This has nothing to do with primitive archery, but I was bored and figured I'd show a few pictures of some other woodworking I've done.  I figured there's probably a few guitar players on the forum who might be interested, so here's some pictures of a guitar I made about 5 years ago.  It's a baritone with an SG inspired body and a BC Rich inspired headstock.  Shaping the back of the neck was a lot like tillering a bow! Enjoy!

I've been playing guitar since freshman year in high school back in 2003...love all guitars

I have wanted to build a guitar for the past couple years...just don't know how to get my feet wet in it.

Where did you get your information on neck length/fret board and supplies?

I'd love to rock out on a guitar made by my hands.

Cameroo:
Aznboi - I had a really good book, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.  You can find a lot of info online on different forums.  One I went to often was Project Guitar http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?act=idx

I remember spending more time researching and planning than I did making the guitar. You'd be suprised at the amount of specific details that have to be worked out before the woodshavings fly!

Jeff, I can't play very well myself.  I tell people I'm more of a guitar enthusiast than a guitar player :)  This was just another one of the hobbies that I totally dove into for a few months, until something else caught my interest.  I tend to do that a lot, but I think I've found a more permanent obsession with bowmaking, because there's a better chance of actually becoming proficient with what I make!  I realized that my brain and hands will never work together fast enough to play blistering, facemelting solos, but none of that is required for making and shooting bows!

Pat B:
Very nice guitar, Cameroo. I love to listen to home made music(actually all music). I wish I could play but I will just have to be satisfied listening.  ;D

anzboi, Check out Grizzley Industries. They sell power tools but the owner loves guitars and has everything you need to build one. Also banjos, mandolins, fiddles and accustic and electric guitars.
