I'll try to keep it as natural as possible. I'm thinking about adding adding some kind of kumiko style inlay to bigger holes. Wormholes can stay as they are, as long as no worm is alive anymore πŸ˜…

Unfortunately there are some bugs/ worms, so I need to remove the most

Thought these were lost somewhere between customs office and shipping company. But no, finally after about a month of waiting they are here. Best strings and plectrums from #winspearinstrumental

The cover for the truss rod is now also finished. It is held in place with a small magnet.

In May I'll be in a group exhibition, time to think about some new prints or drawings.

Another box I've build. No cool dovetails. It actually was part of a work safety course I gave. Just added some handtool artsy stuff...

Time to start the cavity for the electrics. The lid is made of walnut and maple veneer panel, treated with urushi oil. It creates a silky matt, fine sheen and emphasizes the grain nicely.
Now there's a lot of chiseling to be done.

#woodworking

I built this #cabinet to learn various techniques with hand tools.
I used #Kumiko to fill the door. For the larger surfaces (cabinet back wall and door) I veneered multiplex. Saraifo veneer was used. The body was fitted with #dovetail joints and the door with mortise and tenon.

So, I'm still building my first guitar from scratch. I've already posted some pics on IG but I want to fill this feed with live, so here we go again.
