Nice work Doug I love koa but I figure to get more experiance before I lay down the money for a nice set of koa. What kind of finish are you going to use on it? Zac |

YUP!! She's lookin' mighty fine Doug. Is this the one that you will put the Sperzel's on? I got them today so your Black with Pearliod buttons will be on the way to you soon. I wish I could get as much done as you! I still haven't got my back braced.... Shane |

Zac, I am really considering a French Polish. If not I will probably go with KTM 9. But, right now I'm busy carving the Laminated neck. It's made of Koa with a BWB, Maple, BRW, Maple, BWB laminate. I'm waiting on an appointment package of BRW from Jeff at Brazil Tonewoods so I can start the headplate, bindings, fret board, bridge, etc. Shane. Yep this is the one. Those Sperzel's should look great with the BRW appointments. Can't wait to see them. What a deal that was. Thanks Man! |

Doug, I really like that! Very inspiring for me as I plan to do a Koa/Cedar for #4. I already have 2 sets of koa waiting. I figure by then I'll be better at building. Good luck! Tracy |

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the kindness. Lance: I almost didn't recognise you with that new logo. Nice. All the appointments will be BRW. I got a BRW package from Jeff at Brazil Tonewoods. (In the mail) Hesh & Wade: Yes it is from the SJ plans I got here and the bender and mold I got from John at Blues Creek. Tracy: Once upon a time this had a Bearclaw Cedar top, but I had used a bad batch of LMI White glue to bond the halves together and they split apart after I had the abalone inlaid. Wasen't much I could do. The Kerfing all fell off or starting buzzing after using this glue also. All around bad experience. These things happen. Thanks again everyone. |
