Thanks for the comments Monterey.Those are cup washers under the screw heads.
Glad to have you as a friend ;)
Hi. I tried to add a comment to your photo on CBN showing your attempt at bending wood for a mountain dulcimer frame in your bath tube. So, I have left my comment here instead.
I built a mountain dulcimer with an elliptical shaped body without having to resort to either steam bending or soaking the wood in hot/boiling water. I just bent the wood dry (once it cracked, so had to try again at not such an extreme bend). So, it is possible to build a MD w/o the hassel of boiling/setaming the wood. I documented my build on CBN at this link.

Thanks for the friendship and the kinds words. The wood burning will work great on oak as well. I've done a lot on oak. I would suggest a little practice on some scrap first though. Due to the grain of oak it is a bit tougher to control than poplar or cedar. Good Luck!
Thanks Monterey, just amazed you and BeetleJuice picked up on a four year old photo
Good to have you for a nation friend. Good luck with your LPG. I've made three and one is a four string fretless and one of my fave players. Long scale. Easy slider.
Thanks for the invitation.I'll get back to you about the LPG
