Re: Hollowbody
Oigun,
I just read through the entire post again, and what impresses me most is that this is a hobby for you... I beg to differ; these are works of art, and achieving art takes many years of building skills, and acquiring the taste to apply those skills. You sir, are not a hobbyist, you are an artist, and your work will become treasures to people who appreciate what you have done.
Sorry if that sounds too syrupy, but that's the best I can do!

Re: Hollowbody
On todays menu: Fretwork.



The frets are glued in with hide-glue to avoid any voids. Now I leave it to rest for the night.
