I started this from odd bits of timber that were lying around to try out some techniques and sequences for a future build. Made some cock ups and I wasn't even going to finish it.
Then I did a bit here, and a bit there - now its very cute and I have to try to avoid rushing the final stages, Body made from 5 pieces of mainly scrap timber and routed from solid - top is 3mm ply with a flame sycamore veneer. ( In the next one, the "f" holes will be a stylised "J" and "b"). The back is veneered in black dyed tulipwood and the headstock matches front and back.
Volume and tone controls for the passive piezo are in the sound holes (tested - it works).
"Just" need to carve the bridge and nut, fret the neck and do an oil finish.
