Nice, but where do you get chunks of wood like that?

Permalink Reply by CRAIG K666 on April 18, 2017 at 8:05pm

It only has to be 300mm wide..40/50 mm thick...you  can use baltic pine, or a hard wood. I use fret boards that are 10mm thick for strength on the pine..the soft woods make for a better sound..
