Nice work Jeff.
I like the blackwood stripes. Good rich blackwood colours.
It will look great with a finish.
Bob, do you have room for the wood working in your shed yet?
Looking forward to seeing your progress.Scally

My First Build a Weissenborn
Andy, there is heaps of links out there for Weissenborns once you start looking.
Now when you get the chance send me a private e-mail, and give me some info how you load the large photos on to the forum that you do.
As I will have my billet resawn by the end of this week at last.
Cheers Bob.

My First Build a Weissenborn
I finally managed to resaw my sets for my weissenborn build.
I am thinking about an idea Rick Turner posted in the australia new zealand luthier forum.
That is soundhole on the Audience side port,a built in tuner, hipshot D-tuners on the highest & lowest strings, and a D-Tar wavelength multisource pickup.
Photo attached resawn sets for backs and soundboard.
Cheers Bob.

My First Build a Weissenborn
Well the next stage can begin, thanks to John, I picked up the plans today that
he was kind enough to lend me. But what a laugh when I spoke to him on the phone this morning to ask for directions to his place, he asked me if I was fit as he said that I would have to park at his gate as his driveway was muddy and he said it was about a 100 metre walk, don't know where he got his tape measure. as I reckon it was over 500 metres straight up a mountain.
I must be getting old.
Well next stage is building the template and mold looking forward to that.
Regards Bob,
