By the way Paul. You need to mass produce those honey comb linings. pretty cool

Kind of reminds me of Adam standing before the big guy wearing nothing but a fig leaf.

Later I hear he got himself a three piece vested suit on the Mall just outside of Eden.

Paul already said making them was no fun. So mass producing them might be like the job from hades.   Paul, does it remind you of making cam clamps? Sorry.

Those are really nice linings folks, very beautiful to behold and strong as an OX installed. Me likes 'em, mucho, even the whiteness of the aspen looks good contrasting against BobCef's beautiful figured Mahogany. Mmm mmm delicious.

I read that!..more than anything I was just letting Paul know that I am impressed with the linings

If I recall, weren't you the guy that asked if I was ever going to make clamps again. Look how that turned out!!!
I'll tell you what, When I get my Montreal guitars done, I'll dive into a huge batch of these and I'll mark you guys down for some.
Maybe I can train my daughters to stand at the table saw and cut kerfs. Then again, maybe not.

Paul what is the kerf thinckness of the blade you cut those with and where did you get it. I have been toying with the idea of making my own for a while.

I will return the favor if I can.

John, I'm not totally sure the exact thickness. I think it might be .053 if memory serves me correctly. I use a stack of Frued Diablo blades. You have to get the 7 1/4" because the 10" blades have a much bigger kerf. I had some spacers made to go between the blades. Any other info I can offer, please ask.

Paul, are those linings similar to the ones that Charles Fox uses? The process you describe sounds a lot like the way he makes them. His are really stiff too, kinda like yours are described.

Dave, Paul trained with Charles. They look the same, except Paul's are aspen. The ones I saw of Charles' were mahogany or spanish cedar, but made alike, yes.

It is incredibly strong, it basically adds two rims to the guitar side, the kerfed lining rim against the side, and then the added slat to complete the setup on the kerfed strip. Very cool, and strong.Bruce Dickey38786.7755092593

Thanks Bruce! Yeah those linings are pretty cool. They do look like a lot of work though. I'm planning to try them out on a future build. I saw them at Charles' class and have been thinking about them ever since.
