First crack at herringbone and wheat

Post by Wayde Christie » Fri Jul 25, 2014 9:33 am

Hey folks,

It's taken me a while but I've finally got a decent batch of herringbone and wheat built.

For a first attempt I spose it took me about 10 hours all up. I buggered up the first batch though and had to start again half way through.

I reckon I've got enough herringbone and wheat for about 10 guitars now :)

Who wants some? Yours for a $100 a piece :lol:

Wayde.

Yep learning sure takes time Wayde but wouldn't it be great to be paid by the hour, even a pittance at my speed i'd be wealthy :lol:

That looks very good Wayde, well done! :cl

Funny, a few weeks ago I was tinkering with making herringbone too. It came to a halt when I saw it works fine, but for continuing started to search some decent wood for making nicer veneers than the ugly black and red stained sycamore veneer I had used for the tests.
