Wish I could lay my hands on scraps of mahogany like that..I've developed the habit of checking out skips on my way to the pub without any luck

thankyou everyone .

ah Fred, I'm not as clever as you , The fretboard is a piece of mahogany edging for flush doors, I cut the slots then stained with red mog. and jacobean dark oak, the neck is a slat from an old bunk bed ,and the body a piece of scrap that was about to go on the fire,I made the body as big as it would allow. shape based on  Harmony H 44. thanks again,,,:)

Like that,simple and classy, especially the mahogany fret markers inlaid into the ebony(?) fingerboard
