I told you guys I would document my first build so here goes. I must admit I really don't know what I'm doing. Seems to be turning out okay so far.
I have some more shaping to do on the body (Black Walnut) and get it straightened out. Have some inlay I plan on adding and Im still deciding on how Im going to do the Fretboard.
All in all its been a fun project just planning stuff out and getting used to working with a router and other tools I don't often have a chance to use.
New progress! Got inlay and binding done. Seal coat still needs sanded but she's getting there. Thanks for looking!

Hey Jeff,,looks like you have a real good start! FWIW,,,that walnut is VERY porous and requires lots of sealer,,,,maybe some very fine filler. This is one several of us use.

And of course Zinns product (if they are fresh,,,short shelf life) |
