I glued the bubinga fingerboard to the #bass neck this afternoon. The hard maple neck is reinforced with 2 (probably overkill) carbon fiber rods and a truss rod. Inlays and side markers are Total Boat #epoxy with Black Diamond Pigments for the blue/green color. Now on to the body. #maker #pghmaker #diy #wood #woodworking #clampchamp #bassguitar #luthier #empireofdust
On to the fingerboard for the #Bass project. Made from a piece of Bubinga I’ve had for many years with Total Boat epoxy inlays, I’m installing the frets here using my drill press and an eBay fret press caul. The frets are precut and radiused from Bitter Root Guitars. #maker #pghmaker #diy #luthier #bassguitar #wood #woodworking #cnc #empireofdust
I bought this mesquite wood (Prosopis sp.) coffee table at a woodworker show in Fredericksburg, Texas a couple years ago. Mesquite is listed as the second-hardest, after ebony, on a graphic ranking several woods that I have seen posted on social media a couple of times. I knew it was a hardwood when I bought it, having studied mesquite trees and written my master’s thesis about management of mesquite rangeland. But, I had beauty rather than durability in mind when I bought the table. Then I got a rescue dog who likes chewing. He applied his teeth to corners of this table a few times and hardly left a mark. Since then he has decided it is not chewing material. (1/2)

After the prototype I’ve been working on the final pieces of the #bassguitar project. The curly maple neck gets a fair amount of handwork off the #cncrouter. It’s just about ready for finish. Shout out to New Perspectives Music for the plans. #maker #pghmaker #diy #wood #woodworking #luthier #bass #cnc #empireofdust
