Double cutaway electric (Qld walnut, tassioak)

[Deano]

Hey guys,

Here's my latest project. A double cutaway using Qld walnut for the body and neck, figured Tassie Oak top and a Gidgee f/b and headstock veneer.

Ok, here's a sneak peak of the body and template. Got something cool planned for the pickups, but we'll get to that later.



Just a few pics to show the progress of the neck.

This is a jig I made to get my 10 degree neck angle, I rough cut the angle on the band saw, and then follow it with a few passes on the jointer.



I then glue on the headstock veneer and fretboard.





And this is where I am now.





Ill post more pics soon,

Deano

cheers ShaNe.

Don't stop the progress pics, Deano.
It's looking great.

I reckon that Figured Tassie oak is gonna look brilliant carved up
and coated.


cheers, stu

[Deano]

thanks for the replies guys.

Shane, I source my Qld walnut from a local timber yard, but I haven't seen any for a while.

Here's the latest progress. Got the neck pocket, 'inside' pickup cavity's and tone chamber routed.
