Building Joe's Thunderbird

As I mentioned in an earlier post Im building a Thunderbird for a friend of mine.

Started with a large blank of lightly skimmed African Mahogany.

Joe's is a little more involved since he wanted to do the Walnut strips like the Gibson's have. So I cut the mahogany into strips and grabbed some Walnut to do the neck section.

Here she is all glued up. Next things to do are chop the headstock out of it, attach the blanks to form the wings and sand it all to thickness. Then it'll be time to go on the cnc machine!
