started a new project involving a guitar shaped table, not very big just an accent table if you will…

here is the glue up and the template ……..

Wood used:

Red Oak

Walnut

Paduak

once the slab was what I call taken out of the flat oven (planer) the template was used to draw out the shape….

Looks awesome thus far!

comp56Member since Sep 2014Jan 3, 2016 8:56 PM CT

thanks guys, drew it out looking at a pic…..

got some paduak inlay done for buttons, don’t look like much now until final sand and finish the paduak will come alive…

neck pick up, middle pick up and bridge next….you can see they are drawn out

John GlasseyMember since Jan 2014Jan 3, 2016 9:04 PM CT

Very nice comp. your project is really turning out nice. I like the use of paduak. Walnut next I assume. That will really make it pop. Thanks for sharing this.

comp56Member since Sep 2014Jan 4, 2016 6:15 PM CT

thanks everyone, got the neck middle and bridge inlay done, again my favorite part is getting a finish on things to see the wood pop….

for now time to flip it over and work on a design for legs……I’m going with walnut legs of sorts with a support about 2 inches from the floor, I am laying it out right on the bottom of the table but it won’t be there when finished.

[External image (i274.photobucket.com), not copied]

still have work to do on each leg before it all goes together……more to come….

NordrawMember since Dec 2012Jan 4, 2016 7:09 PM CT

Cool idea for a table. How did you do the inlays? Nice job Comp.

JimboS1iceMember since Sep 2015Jan 4, 2016 7:17 PM CT

thanks guys, once this drys up it will be a final sanding then protection…..going to spray 3-4 coats of poly with 000 steel wool sanding between coats……..

stainlessstroker95Member since Aug 2015Jan 5, 2016 1:38 AM CT

Did you make the brace on the bottom of the legs to look like a pick? Cause that is a very nice touch.

That’s a whole other realm of spending time and money, I fought myself how to play back in college, I have a Gibson and Martin, electric and acoustic respectively, great guitars but I don’t play a whole lot any more, there are some beautiful guitars out there but I have just lost interest over the years.
