Here is a coco back that I finished up last night. I got this set from Brock...Eh Brock see where those two knots fell, out of the pattern and somewhat under the braces. This is for a fella that both John How and I share as a customer... Its on to the rosettes now... 
Thanks for looking!

Lance, Immaculate and clean execution from you as usual. Lovely looking piece of wood to. It never ceases to amaze me how you keep the braces so clean with a wood like cocobolo 
I didn't realise that you could get shares in customers - what will they think of next. You and John have been keeping that one close to your chests

I love that coco. I am just so leary about working with it due to skin/respiratory issues. It's reputation scares me after having a reaction to pau ferro. It sure is pretty though, nice work.

Lance, Very nice work! Does the back have a coat of finish on it or is that that the natural state of the wood? Philip |

No finish, just a wipe down of denatured alcohol to clean up the squeeze out. I use epoxy to glue braces to Cocobolo. Great tip I got from Brock.. |

Lance, do you use the 24 hr cure of the quick set epoxy for this? |
|

Oh and do you use epoxy for the neck and tail blocks, basically anything that is glued to the coco? Or just the braces? |

Just a bump for my question above. Oh and do you use epoxy for the neck and tail blocks, basically anything that is glued to the coco? Or just the braces? |

Sorry Rod, miss that
Sofar just for the back braces. I once had one brace pop off using LMI white and have been a little leary since, although I blame my self, I probably starved the joint. |

Hi Lee, welcome to the OLF! I use zpoxy for a sealer and catalyzed urethane for finish. |

Terry, I usually start by sealing the guitar with shellac while doing the bindings, rosette etc. After all the trim has been done, gap filling and final sanding I coat it with zpoxy which both pops the figure and seals the grain. After that I pack it up and send it off to Tony Ferguson. Tony's shots it and send it back. I really want to give Addam Stark a try but I am to scared to send a guitar cross counry when Tony is just 2 hours away. |
