AGP #420 - “Boofwood” 3 String Fretless GuitarScale: 648mm / 25½ inches.Strings: .044NW/.030NW/.020NW/Currently Tuned: F C fAs per one of the Pics, my second son Robert (aka “Boof”) recently gifted me some nice smelling, and easy to work with, Logs and Slab of well-seasoned Camphor Laurel Wood, the body and Neck for this build was cut from the Slab, and was used ala-natural, including all the Chain Saw and Rip Saw marks etc., it was coated with a newly found finish I discovered in my local hardware store, called “Interbuild Hardwax Oil”, which is marketed as a food grade finish for cutting boards, butchers blocks and timber fruit bowls etc, it brushed on very easily, and definitely enhanced the beautiful grains, and colours in the Camphor Laurel.A 6.2k MGB Flat Mini Box Bucker Pickup is hardwired to the Jack, which includes an earth wire running to the underside of the Chrome Hardtail Bridge. :-)

    "Thanks Again Bob",  the look I was after, was all about highlighting the beauty of the Camphor Laurel Timber, I'm happy with the way it turned out, and am very pleased that others think the same! 

    :-)

    "Thanks Jerry Jordon",  and Yep!, this one would come in very handy for deterring Goannas or Burglars.  :-D

    "Thanks Southern Ray", sometimes simple is best!, the Timber is au-natural, straight of the Saw's, fitted with one of my favourite Pickups and Headstocks.  :-)

    I don't think I can add any more to what has been said below AGP, only, It's got "that look" to it. Nice job indeed!

    Thanks Pick & 'UJ', and surprisingly Unc, it didn't require a lot of effort, some cutting, rasping, drilling, and a bit of basic electrical work.  :-)

    Wow, that stump tells a lot of story.  Much effort on this one.  Worth it.
