What, you don't own a hammer and nails?

Mmmm, that's tasty. What kind of wood working skills would you need to sculpt such a beast? I'd be keen too, but I assume it's not quite the easiest thing to do

Tricky to say really, I'm an engineer by trade so much of the measuring and stuff was drummed into me. The router is your friend though I try and use as little as poss and get to grips with the wood instead

Okay the final photos, pre-stringing. I've left it wooden though I've darkened it down a little as I finished it with shellac rather than oil.

Shellac looks niiice.

yeah its come out really well, I didn't go for the mirror finish with it, just more of a satin and I don't think the photos have captured the real colour that well. But well pleased with the results

I think I need to change the screw in the truss rod cover, its a bit on the obtrusive side

That top horn makes it look dangerously close to a gumby guitar.

Seriously, nice job
