I got busy over the last couple of days, slicing and dicing wood.. I quartered up some boards, and jointed/planed/ bookmatched everything. I even made ash veneer.. This body will sport ten pieces of wood when all is said and done- it's looking great so far. Here are the bookmatched pieces I glued up yesterday
Then I block sanded each layer to thickness, and glued up four layers
Once the big sandwich had been glued up, I jointed and glued up the last set of lacewood (for the top)
Once the glue had set for a few hours, I opened up the clamps and rough cut the main body, checked for thicknesses, then reclamped it.
Now it will sit overnight. So far, so good. This will be a semihollow made from lacewood, then an ash accent stripe, mahogany core, another ash stripe, then lacewood. Not all the details are settled, but I needed to get it rolling while the conditions are good.
