  • Hi John,

    thanks for your comments and your opinion.
    The strips of wood were from a depot that a friend was dismantling, so probably were the cheapest possible, and even I had to pull out some staples. That's why I used a tinted laquer.

    I just started with some info shared here and in some other websites, and looking the guitars I have at home.
    The heels, and many other parts are not 100% uniform, but it's true that there are quite succeeded, just checkin if they were pleasant to the hand/arm when sliding/gliding/sliping.

    Minimum bought pieces was my goal, though finally spent more than expected investing in some tools that I am going to take benefit from now. I have several projects in mind and lots of things to improve.

    Kind regards

  • Roger, if you make it strong pine is fine!   This looks well done and it looks like pine or spruce. 

  • Hi John,

    I am afraid I don't know what they are.
    I had those strips/battens of wood at home since a few years ago and finally decided to give them another life.
    I supose they are pine.

    As beginner, I've decided to work with some of the materials I have before to buy more "noble" woods for neck and fretboard. At the present time, I'm trying to learn and practise about the process.

  • Roger the heels on these guitars are sure nice.   Is this one pine or spruce?
