Guitar w/ Indian Rosewood back & sides

Finally got the nerve to start a project for me. A flamenco negra guitar. It took me several months to decide whether to enroll first in a wood working course or just start working on my ideas. By February I began buying the materials needed and cut the first piece of wood by March.

Five months into the project, and a few cuts on my fingers, I guess I am doing fine. And after all the planing and scraping, I am really beginning to love the scraper. Thanks a lot to Lumberjocks, the forums, and youtube videos out there that helped me use this simple tool.

Sor far so good. Right now, I am in the finishing process. I hope everything goes well. I can't wait to finish this one and start on another one. I've always wanted to have a guitar with Maple back and sides.

This is marvelous. Makes me want to try one. I initially thought the rubber bands were some kind of strengthening struts! Now I'm aware.

Thanks!! The rubber bands were used to clamp the binding on the corners/sides.

Loving the finish, but it still ain't done

The latest developments in my journey as a novice woodworker.

Before any shellac has touched the tail of the guitar

After eight sessions of french polish

So far so good on my second project.
