...the triple sides are simply a lamination of 3 normal thickness sides bringing it to the .275" thickness that the back has. Backs and sides generally fall between .08 and .11 for me depending on the species and/or the stiffness of the specific pieces being bent. So, for this build, the back and sides are 3 times the total thickness of a normal build, but with all of the deep carving, and the species, it won't be much heavier than a normal mahogany guitar. All of the bracing and linings are spruce for this build to cut down on weight as well. Although the pieces are thicker, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be less resonant. For electric guitars, more mass generally means more sustain. I have found this to also be true for the acoustics that I have built. The heavier guitars that I have built tend to be less punchy, but have more overall projection and sustain, which also creates more overtones. So, I would expect this build to react the same.

I saw these while doing an installation last week.

In the last one I tossed in a 250 year old salad bowl.

Those tables and bowl look like they're in somebody's basement.

Rustical bench...

Carve up old bones, next time the dog drags home part of a human.

The woman is an antique dealer. We put a new HVAC system in for her. They are in her storage bay area.

Narrow back, wide seat, mixed message chair...

xoxoxoBruce · 06-21-2016, 11:24 PM

Another great gate...

That's pretty.

I like her style. Take the Owl & Bird, replace the Owl's spots with stars and make a gate at the White House.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-25-2016, 11:52 PM

It's complicated...

xoxoxoBruce · 06-27-2016, 11:22 PM

Those were complicated and intimidating so how about a simple cutting board.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-29-2016, 08:52 PM

Chick chairs...
