<p>about 17 of them,the backs are shaped like a normal guitar.</p>
<p>the wood was 40x40 so had plenty of meat to grind off yes I used a grind and finish off with sand paper/wet& dry.</p>
<p>and glued bits of other type of hardwood to the heads..so very please.</p>
<p>the tulip wood easy to work on ,beechwood was a lot harder but the finish result is better than I could hope for. so very pleased I am.</p>
