billstyler Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I stopped messing with electrics to return to some acoustic projects. This summer I started two small guitars and lined up parts for a harp guitar I started long ago. Here are some pics of the first parlor guitar in the works. I'm trying to use salvaged wood from any source I can dig up, and have been out in the woods dragging chunks back to the shop for several years and collecting wood which would have ended up in the dump or fireplace in many cases. I've started incorporating the home-milled wood into experiments in acoustic building. Having fun, at the very least. http://guitarguy.bil...neck-blanks.jpg http://guitarguy.bil.../top-braces.jpg http://guitarguy.bil...back-inside.jpg http://guitarguy.bil...-neck-block.jpg http://guitarguy.bil...sides-glued.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpm99 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Nice, clean work. I'm looking forward to seeing how that neck works out. I assume you just air dried the wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is all air-dried. I plan to build a solar drying kiln next year. That remains to be seen, if I divert my energy in that direction.
