Ebony and bone logo
Posted: Fri Jul 21, 2017 6:22 pm
Previously I made my logos from cow bone. For the Gretsch Copy I tried a different method. You be the judge if it is any good....
Started with a thin piece of ebony and drew logo. All pencil marked stuff needs to go.
Then removed bits with a drill, then file
Not easy, bits are breaking off...
Glued the lot on a piece of plastic from a yoghurt container. Looks crap eh?
Now the bone bit... in the jar there is plenty of bone 'dust' from sawing nuts and saddles out of, well bone.
This is not a drug scene. Drip some superglue onto the orange surface and then drop some bone dust on. Then compact it.
Drilled out the holes in the 'Pees' and do the same with ebony dust.
Then remove the logo from the plastic base, et voila, ready for glueing into the headstock.
Recessed headstock and glued the logo in place. Bottom right still shows a small piece of cellotape that i forgot to remove.

In fact you've inspired me to put some logos on my headstocks!
