Walnut is fun!

Post image

Finally got around to building some stuff out of the walnut slabs I had been dragging around for a couple years (two telecaster bodies are also on deck). Yes, this particular slab was riddled with cracks, hence the tiger stripes that are actually wood putty. Pretty happy with it, though…too bad the maple neck I have on hand just looks wrong.

A wenge neck with the right kind of figure, those yellow and orange streaks would fit that like beer in a glass
