Here's a 50th birthday truss rod cover just completed.

Can you find the "50"?

Thanks for looking!

Paul

Yeah! I found the '50' also, but Paul, I turn 55 in a month so you will have to make me another one...... bliss

That is cool! So, did you use the tiny CNC machine? Really, how do you cut such small pieces?

Its beautiful.
