Project: Duo Sonic

[Veenture]

Looking good and sharp Danny, wow -a nice rich slab of rosewood you've put on there.

I am pleased that I was able to capture the curvature of the rosewood in front of the nut area where it goes into the headstock. I never see this shape of transition on the current CNC shaped headstock. They are always shaped straight across.

I would imagine that this is the natural tendency (to come out straight) but the curvature you have managed to get is cool. Were the first Duo Sonics always curved like yours too?

A little more progress today. Next I'll start routing the body.

hey danny,

I know you said you found the paint you were looking for but found this and thought it might peak your interest. paints by duplicolor called "exact match"

Well I did the routing on the body today and things did not go well. The router bit came loose and I didn't know it until it was too late. It cut a hole all the way through the body and into the top of my workbench about 1/8". Do you have any idea how PO'd I was? At any rate, two hours later I was calm enough to rout the channel smooth and fit a piece of wood into the damaged area. It's a good thing this is going to be a solid color otherwise I'd have to toss it and start over.

Now that I got the damage repaired I'm back on track. Got all the cavities routed and the 1/2" radius around the body done. So now I'll start finish sanding and tomorrow I'll cut out the pickguard.

I need to find a new hobby.

I've had experiences like that - I call them "vocabulary builders" - Didn't know I had all those words in me!

Many colorful metaphors, to be sure!
