I made a thing

Cherry and walnut serving platter. 100% pure tung oil. 3,000 grit sanding on all surfaces. Haven't made any ashtrays in a while, but this was just as fun.

Nice thing!

That thing is incredible. 

[Squarehead]

That looks fantastic

 

[Fuzz]

Cool!

For your next project, can you make these things?

[El Presidente]

Bloody nice work 

[DeskSmkr]

Wood grain is so oddly satisfying! Fantastic!

[canadianbeaver]

Beautilful!

I like that thing.  Good job.

And a beautiful thing it is!! I'm sure I'm not the only one here whose transposing that into a guitar body and feeling very covetous!

That could be fun. I'm not delving into acoustics or neck building, but an electric body would be in my wheelhouse. The laminate could be really cool. I love facing "hidden" surfaces with high grade figuring, just to reward the people who look under the hood. Guitar body is a good opportunity for that, with the multi-species laminating. That would warrant a proper French polish shellac treatment, too.

I just realized I have been employing the mullet theory of design. Business in front, party in the back. Somebody stop me.

Very nice.
