Current Production -- General - Page 3

The photos on this page are of my current production batch (I generally make 10 - 12 guitars in a batch)  This page will have the photos that are generic to all of the guitars (such as making the rosettes.)  At the bottom of the page are links to the page showing the entire batch and to each of the individual guitars.  It is probably useful to look at each page as some photos which are "generic" are only on the individual pages.  

The photos are thumbnails.   Click on the photo and you will automatically go to the full image.

I have started the binding process.  I do the backs first and then on to the tops.  On guitars with a cutaway, that is always done first.

 

  Side purfling, especially on the back is hard to get looking clean so I put it in by itself and clamp it in place to get a good clean look

 

an end wedge - note that the back purfling is mitered at the end wedge.

  The back binding is now all on (on all guitars).  Next comes the tops.
