Greetings from the Sunshine Coast of BC. Thought I might post a few pic
of my first, and after bending my first side won't be my last, build.

The cutaway
IMG]
Neck and heel blocks in

That was a bit of work. Maybe I'll just buy one next time. Probably not.

Very rare zebra cedar from the Powell River area. I really didn't want a
top that looked like my sundeck. I had a huge pile to choose from.
Taped about 10 and so far have discovered they all sounded very much
like a piece of wood being tapped on. I think I'll cut up some 2x6's and
see if I can tell the difference.

Kind of a Torres bracing pattern.

Looks like a pretty great site and a wealth of info that builders are willing
to share. I think I may have a couple of questions along the way.

Cheers,
Danny

Danny, Welcome to the OLF.
You show great promise.
Nice top, very nice brace job as well.
I don't know beans about classicals, but it looks good.

Danny
Your first looks great!, nice rosette also.
Your comment on tapping the wood, leads me to
think you did not get a ring like sound.
Forgive me if you already know this, but it does
make a differance where you hold and tap it to get
the ringing sound. Hope this helps.

Welcome, very nice work.

Thanks for your kind comments and encouragement. My friend told me
before I started that the craft could become a bit of an obsession and I
thought "I'm not really that type of person". Little did I know.

Tom, I was being a little tongue in cheek on the tap tones. I can kinda hear
what's going on but to tell the difference between good, better, best I have a
long way to go.

All The Best,
Danny
