Australian/New Zealand Luthiers Forum

i like the shape, was the cutaways hard to bend? How did you do it if you don't mind me asking?

thats defiantly some nice blackwood, good work dave!

very nice inlay indeed, what did you use to cut the shell?

nice timbers your using also

that is defiantly some nice bear claw figure on the top and the sapwood looks real nice on the back

make sure you post pics of the bent sides


What wood are you bending/ using for the sides?

nice Rosewood Alan (EIR = East Indian Rosewood right?)

Can't wait to see these 2 polished up and finished.


Can't believe I joined late and missed the group buy, it looks great.

very nice timbers you used there!

I love a good uke

nice looking guitar!


Welcome to the forums

i love the shape - very PRS.

I also love the QLD walnut your using, great work

Nice work Dominic.
I'm not to sure if I like the shape or not, but i love the back and sides - very nice

i love the figuring in this guitar, very nicely built

wow bob, this is a real nice one. I love the figuring of the Blackwood and the fretboard just tops it off.

Nice work!

Tim, what timbers was this uke made from?

that looks very nice! I Like it.

How's the side bending jig working out for ya? I've been thinking of trying the same jig.

very nice, what wood show did you get the cedar at? And where do you get your QLD maple?
