Yard Sale Find

My score today at a yard sale, $3 each. These are all nice wood. He has more he's bringing out tomorrow, if I have sense I will buy them all. These are so nice I'm thinking about mounting the actions on the bottom, don't want to cut into the pretty tops. Whaddya think?

  • All four are winners.  I like to use the bottoms some times.  It is hard to cut into those tops.  I had a nice Brick House that I ruined cutting for a mag pup.

  • Ah now I get it, thanks Bones, I've seen your work, very nice, didn't know it was called that.  I have everything but a small table scroll saw.  So I picked up the remainder 17 boxes this morning, I'll post them later.

  • 306706685?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024here’s a pic I use my scroll saw to cut out the piece I desired to use and glue it to a post of timber 1/4” shorter than depth of box glue on the sound hole to the top of timber post and Bobs your uncle walla dropped sound hole I even set up a light behind the soundhole to give it a cool event there’s a video on my page about the light version . Hope this helps . 

  • If you have a picture of dropped sound holes, can you show it here?

  • Dropped sound holes?  You mean on the bottom side?

  • Bones dropped sound holes would look good too. Especially the Brick House and  the 18.

  • Dropped sound hole looks effective ....... 

  • Good idea, Dave, thanks.

  • Tops up. Wicked Buckers and side sound holes.

  • Thanks guys, I'll take your advice and keep the art work on top where it belongs, will try not to butcher it up too bad.  The art is a main attraction to show off.  I'll be back there first thing tomorrow to see what else he has.
