Finish?

Whats a finish?

Its gonna be sealed. With oil. No more.

 8)

That's the way I normally like them and that's they way that I normally do them too - but that's just because I'm a long way from mastering the art of anything more complicated.

Anything other than a clear finish on that wood would be heresy.

The/my Wez build will be slightly more than oiled though  :D

Cheers folks.

Now, can someone run me over, not too badly, just so I have a nice 10 week coma?

Oh, any name ideas? I think it needs a name. That there top looks a bit like a magnetic field, but also a bit like jupiters atmosphere...maybe something around that. Dont wanna be too cheesy, mind.

For some reason, all those swirls in the timber made me think of this:

BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

Bah, screw it:

The build is:

That there top, which is 5mm

on

three layered body, from the back
7.5mm maple
27.5mm meranti
5mm maple
+ top

Beveled edges, 15mm deep, 10mm across, so you can see the layering front and back, and heel-less.

Ergonomics cut out to also allow the layering to show, and allow the layering to make the tops of the horns trapezoids.

5pc through:
1/3 meranti
1/6 maple
1/6 walnut
1/6 maple
1/3 meranti

This is a (completely horrific) sketch I did when bob and I were working it out. It'll look, in general form, close to this. But not like a chimp drew it (it looks so much worse after scanning as well :(), and with ultra-cool woods. Didnt know the thickness of the layers as the time, adn thought the FB was gonna be ebony; bob came up with the one you see out of the blue later.
