11 - Neck Close-Up1

The Barbed Wire Banshee - I'm quite happy with this build, especially the neck. The wood-burned barbed wire spikes even mark the fret positions!This is the first build where I finished the neck after sanding - the open grain of the red oak was not playing nice. I sealed it up with wood glue diluted with water, then sanded and finished with fine steel wool.

    I like the burning, I did this on my last one but only the markers, like the idea of doing something all the way down the fret board, think of the possibilitys haha, great job.

    Uncle John:  It's not a booze flask (though now I am getting some interesting ideas).  

     

    I also have plans for a git that opens to reveal a (mini bottle) liquor cabinet, possibly with a bottle-opener as a tail-piece.

    Now, wait..... the cork!?   Is this git a booze flask too?
  • Uncle John August 26, 2011 at 8:37pm
    Yup, that is cool and some fine work.  Great idea on the slide holder.  You can keep your Corricidan in that little bottle.
