I took my oil painting to my printers to get it scanned for insurance as i’m mailing the painting to Smiling Dog. And got the image printed on guit grade Sitka Spruce. Here’s the result. :*)

Vern, I asked my printer if I could spray a fixative on the print to put a finish on it. They said it’s uv coated already. It has a nice look as is. I think i’ll Build with it as is and see how it holds up in play.
Thanks Derek. I had fun doing the whole job. Got me into dog art. I want to try more paintings for guitar tops. Drawings too.
Wonderful painting Dave.
That looks great Dave! Is it safe to put a finish such as tung oil over the ink? I was pretty nervous about rubbing tung oil onto the top of the Gitty box Frank Zappa guitar. Fortunately the colors weren't affected.
I will! ;)
Uncle you can steel, use, mutilate, spindle, trash, gift, or do anything you’d like with my work. Anytime.
Steven gave me the gift of this project Uncle. It’s been a lot of fun and has led me to this print on wood deal. I’ll build a guitar with it and try some more painting prints on wood. The results are wonderful. The scan from my printer could be useful too. I can send it to Steven for insurance should the painting be lost or destroyed in shipment. He can have wood prints made from it, banners, get a Gitty printed box, paper prints. Fun stuff! And I got a fine lap steel by Smiling Dog to boot!
That came out wonderful. Great gift to Stephen. Good on yer, Dave.
Gees, you do nice things like this and some A-whole steals your songs!
I’m going to build a box with this as the top and make a 3 string out of it. I’m very happy with my results! It wasn’t cheap. About 43$ for the scan and print but I think it’s worth it. Very strong print on a guitar grade 1/8 inch thick Spruce top. The print is 7 3/4 inch tall. I know Gitty can do printing on wood too. I’ll try Gitty next.
Nice!
