STEPS IN ERRANT LUTHIERIE: A Journey from Wood to Sound in 13 Steps

Flat boards, coming together: Cherry and spruce... It took some time, but a tischler (carpenter) around the corner was finally able to thin these down for me...
- the following days will see the evolution of my new home-made (in the kitchen actually) guitar.
A big thank you to everyone who helped me fund this project late last year when the green pear guitar was lost: it's finally coming together!

Bending sides: I had in mind a heat gun that I know is hiding somewhere in my boxes of unsorted things (anyone need an intern position?) - but lacking patience after a day's search, I opted for a modified wood burner - I jammed on what appears to be an aluminum rod. - yeah, that's sometimes how things come together: we bring a Form from the Chaos.
