Got Wood?

Ok, been a bit dormant for awhile but here's more information!

I have decided to build my Telecaster out of US "Swamp Ash" as it has a distinctive grain for my natural finish.



I have found a UK supplier of such wood and it's on order so should arrive in the next few days (and pictures will go up). Once this has arrived the first job of marking out the wood and shaping it can take place.

I have also ordered my first specialist woodshaping tool, A convex spokeshave. A spokeshave is a type of woodplane that allows you to work wood into intricate shapes or in this case, allows me to shape the curved edges of the body.



That's all for now. Once the wood and spokeshave arrives I shall upload more pictures and update the blog!
