DavidV:
I haven't posted a whole lot the last few months and probably haven't touched a bow since Eric's gathering but just thought I'd share what I was up to. I'm just about getting finished building my first scratch (almost) guitar. I'm not sure I like it more than building bows since there's more precision needed but I have had a lot of fun. It's a semi-hollow pine body with a hackberry top. Back is dyed with fiebing's and it's finished with tru oil. The only thing I didn't make was the neck since I had this one laying around. I wound the pickups on a homemade winder and they sound pretty good. A good mix of Merle Haggard and The Ventures   ;D

Hawkdancer:
Nice job!  Have you tried Lin-Speed as a finish? Probably better than Truoil.

chamookman:
Way cool ! Man - You really took Me back mentioning the Ventures  (A). That's how I learned to play the Guitar a Million years ago - I'd play a song on the album, stop it and then figure it out. Bob

Stoner:
OH MY, Great Craftsmanship!!!! John

Knoll:
That's just so cool, David! We'll look forward to you playing it at Eric's place.
There is just 1 problem ..... 3 strings too many.   >:D
