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 ![]() 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 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. Tom |

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 |
