Re: neck thickness/headstock thickeness

Re:
Well ... I can find bugger-all about fishpaper on the internet other than what a good product it is! nothing about its manufacture. So I guess its just another way of keeping organic fibres bound in an organic glue, a kind of artificial wood, anyway. Bother. I wanted to find out how it was made. Us...

Re: Advice needed - patching sanded-through top
On one of the forums. . . (sorry old and forgetful) a guy inlaid some small pearl dots to conceal worm holes in the back of his build. [...] Maybe you are referring to this case here on the ANZLF? Well yes I was! Thought it was a brilliant fix. Thanks for having more cognative cells than me :lol:
