Slow down Heshtone, you're giving me a complex 
Looking good mate, It'll be killer too no doubt. BTW I've also been in the shop selecting tonewood for #3. But how can I even try to keep up with you with my full time job, full time Uni study, the house renovation, and a three year old that needs her daddy. Not to mention all the time I spend here. Maybe I need to build a few in the smallest room in the house? Is that the secret? Multitasking? |

Lookin' good, Hesh. I like simple solutions, like that pictured in pic #2. Isn't that some of the same wood that John Mayes used a while back? It's beautiful under finish! Steve |

Hesh I had John Watkins do my headstock inlay. Clearly we all know him. Great sponsor and dude!!!! He cut a bunch of sets for me and routed the headstock plates as well. As I buy more zoot, I collect up all my headplates and send them to him as a batch to rout Andy |

No sunburst or paint job this time?

Off to another good start! Are those Stew-Mac seam weights? I thought I saw them in the catalog!

Looking great so far, my friend. Looking forward to seeing the progress pics on this baby for sure... It will be interesting to see/hear/read your impressions on the Italian spruce. What kind of brace stock will you be using? |

Hesh this looks like another beauty taking shape. I like the way you go about "kitting" your next build. Very  idea. I think your really going to like the sound of that Italian spruce. Got more on the way.
Here's John Mayes curly honduran under finish. Real beauty.

I tried to get some of that curley mahog from the Zootman But I was too late.Beautiful zoot like that just goes so quick! Man,You are certainly knocking em out quickly Hesh. What do you use for dust collection with your Performax thicknesser??I think I read a while back that a shop vac just isn't enough for sander like yours.Is this correct Hesh? |

I actually can't tell that it's stiff. It's the first top I've worked with in a long time, so I don't have anything to compare it too, and I'm actually not sure how to flex it. Bob picked out a piece that was stiff for me, so I'm taking his word. What are you thinking about for bindings? I bought my mahogany from Bob after your posted your set, and you got your top after I mentioned mine. I love it. |

Hesh, I have a similar guitar planned. An OM or OO, (Martin, not Gibson L-OO) Brazilian bindings, backstrip, bridge and fretboard etc., all from the same BRW plank. Euro top I think. Maybe carpathian. Undecided on that part. I could go redwood...just not sure yet. My B&S set also came from the Zootman. |

Have you guys seen the Brazilian Kingwood bindings? (Dalbergia Cearensis) Purplish brown and black stripes. Pretty stuff. |

[QUOTE=Hesh1956] Thanks guys! Serge yes a light wood combo here, something different for me. One of my goals was to use mahogany and Euro on a guitar. And no paint or sunburst is planned for this one but now that you mention it..........
/QUOTE] Hesh you won't be disappointed, as you can probably guess it's my very favourite combination. And no sunburst!

All I can say is WOW Hesh!!!! You are amazing man!!! Do you have more than 24 hours in your day??? I ask because watching your posts I am amazed at how you get things done in such a neat and clean fashion yet find time to do your daily posts and maintain a day job. It's like a mix of AAA behavoir, with Marine like discipline and OCD cleanliness
You are my idol!!! |

Hesh, I don't know if any of our sponsors have Kingwood B&S sets but we can usually get them over here, I believe Russell has bought it in the past. About $175 a set I believe, less for classical sized sets. Colin |
