Title: Sugar Maple
Post by: WillowRidgeCalls on April 03, 2011, 04:24:16 PM
I just cut this one out this morning, sanded it smooth, raised the grain, then sanded it again. I added a coffee stain to it to darken the curl and to bring the color out in this wood. I'm going to put a hand rubbed oil finish on it, the same way I used to do when I build long rifles. I'll take some more pics when it's done.
Thanks for looking, Scott

Very nice.


I obtained a pc of curly maple myself for just a project.  Although I am not sure if I want to dye it or leave it girly.

I'm  going to have a slate in it, but haven't desided on what soundboard I want in it yet and what tone of call I want?
