avengers63 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Well. THAT wasn't cheap. Nice billet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chops1983 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Chad, You do know that teak has a very high oil content (it doesn't last 100 year underwater for no reason!) is very difficult to join due to this. Over here it costs less than $20 per 1m of 10cm x 10cm. Carvings and furniture definately . . . as for guitars there is a reason why there ain't teak guitars everywhere! No S**t! Thanks for the heads up! I might have to turn it into something else then. That is interesting though because on this website Aus tonewoods Its in the list of tonewoods. I might ask the lads at the local joinery what they think about joining it. Have you ever used any SJE for any form of woodworking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJE-Guitars Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I am surprised it's on a tonewood list . . . but then again in reality any wood is tone wood as they all have some tone. Personally I've never used it - but some people who I know who have in general rule is clean the excess oil off with Acetone and then use an epoxy opposed to wood glue.

Mate this particular piece rings out like a gong! I have never heard anything like it. I have a piece of tassie blackwood which has a nice taptone but this piece of teak just sings!Half the reason why i bought it. I was originally gonna make another Semi hollow like mine out of it for my mate, but he is travelling at the moment and can't afford a new guitar. I think ill research its gluing capabilities abit. Cheers SJE! Chad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD83 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 WOW! That maple billet looks incredible... btw: I found this in my plum root... at least the middle one big enough for headstock veneer. Colors are kinda accurate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
