Planing the ebony to thickness and trueing up one of the sides, so its ready to have the frets layed out.
Here i´m trying to plan how the inlays should be layed out. I really like the inlay styles of the Larson Brothers and other american luthiers from the same era, so I want to do something simliar. Most of the inlays I bought cut out, but some of them i cut myself using a jewellers saw.
Sawing the fret slot. I triple checked all the mesurements before.
My new workshop in our new house! Please note the lamp. Winters are very dark in denmark, so I use this UV-lamp, that helps me not to get too depressed due to the lack of sunlight. And its actually a nice working light too.
Routing the inlay cavities.
All the inlays glued in and sanded flush.
Maple bindings being glued on.
Fingerboard done. It has a 16" radius.
