Yes it does work,fills the grain for a smoother finish
Some left over jointing compound,the stuff they use to skim plasterboard joints
Hi Sasquatch,
I've used 3.6mm ply in box construction,mainly on the cat and dog bowl resonators.Your mahogany should give great results,the solid timber boxes I've built have always been better acoustically.Here are a couple of examples,one is american walnut(sourced from a model shop) with a cedar front.The other is lauan (salvaged from an old shelf) with a spruce front.Details of construction are among my photo's
thanx for the friend invite ;-)
I like your guitar!
Thanks for your comment Sasquatch.The black one now has a new home with a young lad who plays bass in a punk band.
Thanks for the friend request Sasquatch - greetings from 'oop north'!
