I sanded my mad-rose back today and thought I would show it off. This goes with the celtic rosette/bear claw. This has nothing on it, just fresh from sanding.

Hesh, the wood came from Vikwood, I've had it for about a year or so.


Dang Lance, I didn't even notice my bottle until it was posted. And I must admit that you are right. Fortunately chewing is my only weak spot.

Thanks, guys.   The downdraft table is Delta and it works pretty good. Actually it works well with smaller objects, but, when sanding a big back or top too many of the holes are covered for it to work great, but I do believe it still gets most of the finer dust. I'm pleased with it. It is great for sanding tops and backs in another regard, though: It works wonderfully as a vacuum clamp for holding things you're sanding. It worked very well sanding fretboards, too.

Ron, great looking set of wood. I saw the spitoon too. Gross!

I'm laughing, 'cause I remember when Savannah and Clyde would finish the dishes. They sat at each end of the divan, each with a spit can which was always resident at floor when they weren't using 'em. Yeck. But you know, I loved my Great-grandmother and grandmother, so it didn't matter.

My grandpa always had a tobacco patch on the property and gave it to all his friends as well.

Oh, I loved the Manley tutorial, that was excellent, dude.

The Diet Coke spitter is necessary...How do you think he gets the streaks out of the fretboard?!
