Bet she really resonates!!! ![]() Kidding aside, that's quite nice work! The first one I've seen that actually lives up to the term "throne!" ![]() |

Stunning, Brad. Anyone would be proud to own that! That oak should be strong enough for the task. (at least, it looks like oak to me) Actually, it has sort of a lyre look about it. Ron |

Now that is some stunning work. One question though. Where did you get a guitar pick template big enough to cut out the seat hole? Great job! |

Brad, Frankly I'm bewildered... 1.) Why didn't you use crotch wood? 2.) Why is there no butt joint? -Dennis |

You guys are funny-I'm ROFL!!! It Is most definately oak-I am a traditionalist after all. The really funny thihig is that the guy I made it for is having his 60th birthday party (100 people going) on Saturday and he invited me. I guess this seat will get "broken in" pretty quickly. |

Brad, Has anyone "broken" her in or had a "test" drive? |

I can just imagine how you test-fitted it in the shop. Not a pretty sight. |

I don't WANT to imagine him test fitting it... I'm sure he's all flushed just thinking about this stuff... |

Flatsawn Oak, no pore filling, buffing, purfling, binding, rosette or inlay? Still looks better than my last build ![]() |

It's great to see something different on this forum. I for one, can appreciate an instrument with a bit more Bottom end. I could understand how one could get a lot of use out of such an instrument. Thanks for sharing! Wade |
