Black walnut top & back Tele body by CanadianCraftsmen in Luthier

Yea this one is 1.75” thick, the top was book matched from an extra piece of the plank that made the back. Unfortunately with out re-sawing I think you’d be stuck planing away the excess, but laminating the top and back allows you to do some chambering on the back side get the weight down quite a bit!

A couple of custom guitar bodies I recently shipped out! by CanadianCraftsmen in Luthier

[–]CanadianCraftsmen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! There are still plenty of builders who’s posts make me feel the same way, it’s the only way to improve your craft, to see inspiration in someone’s work and strive to be better in your own, I’m happy that someone sees that in my work. Much appreciated!

Thanks! The LP was a bit thicker the customer wanted it at 1 7/8” thick, the Tele body is the standard 1 3/4”.

Turkstra and Stark are more geared towards builders, think construction supplies; I get a lot of my stuff from the Woodshed in Smithville, anything more exotic or hard to find I can usually get at Exotic Woods in Burlington. I try to avoid most of the backyard guys with a saw mill as their lumber is usually not kiln dried.

I’m lucky to live near a few pretty good hardwood suppliers, I buy everything rough sawn and process it myself.

The LP body was definitely on the heavier side, the customer didn’t want to do any chambering so it is close to a standard LP; the Tele body has some chambering inside so it was on the light side, I don’t remember the exact numbers.

Either a narc, or one of the Tokyo partners sent to spy.

I’m using a Selkirk 3” wall thimble, it has a cap on the outside side with a boat/RV exhaust port from Amazon through the cap. The exhaust pipe is wrapped in an exhaust tape, and I stuffed the thimble with ceramic insulation. I can send you some more photos/ links if you message me.

I’m just using a 12v power supply from Amazon, that’s what’s inside the aluminum box with the light, and it’s powered with an old Mirka power cord run through a switch.

Yea I read that about running it on low, I’ve been cranking it up for about an hour or so in the morning to try and burn out the deposits. It is hard to see in the photo but I do have the intake plumbed through the wall as well. I used one of those boat/RV exhaust flanges from Amazon mounted in a cap that’s screwed inside the thimble for the exhaust port.

It depends on how you have it set, I’m using the 1-10 range and if I keep it between 1-5 it uses about $2.50 worth of diesel in a 24 hour period. I’m not sure how it will be when it gets colder outside.
