This tenor guitar is for our friend Shelly, who is bravely stepping into the world of steel strings. It has a Redwood top that is a scrap from a local guitar maker. The back and sides are some Walnut from Vashon Island, WA, given to us by our friend Cath. I thought it would be plain, but it turned out to have some nice color and curl. I also chose Walnut for the neck, which I do on banjos all the time, but haven’t really done with a guitar yet. The fretboard, headplate and bridge are also matching walnut. She sent me a block of Koa that she got as a souvenir, I was able to use it for the moon inlay, engraft, heel cap and two strap buttons I turned on the lathe. The final touch is some Walnut and Maple rope binding. Have fun, Shelly!
