First crack at herringbone and wheat

[Wayde Christie]

Hey folks,

It's taken me a while but I've finally got a decent batch of herringbone and wheat built.

For a first attempt I spose it took me about 10 hours all up. I buggered up the first batch though and had to start again half way through.

I reckon I've got enough herringbone and wheat for about 10 guitars now

Who wants some? Yours for a $100 a piece

Wayde.

That looks like a pretty nice job though Wayde.

Cheers Steve. After all the agro I'm pretty pleased with it

Yep learning sure takes time Wayde but wouldn't it be great to be paid by the hour, even a pittance at my speed i'd be wealthy

That looks very good Wayde, well done!

Funny, a few weeks ago I was tinkering with making herringbone too. It came to a halt when I saw it works fine, but for continuing started to search some decent wood for making nicer veneers than the ugly black and red stained sycamore veneer I had used for the tests.
