More Progress on Mike Oliver's Fan Fretter


Well I've done as much fussing as there is to be done with my own brand new Zebrawood Concert Nylon, and so I'm back on the job with Mike's African Mahogany semi-baritone fan fretter. Here are some pictures of the latest progress...Gallery 4, Gallery 5, Gallery 6. Over the last few days I've cut a port-hole in one side, bent the sides, jointed the back, thicknessed the back and top plates, and cut them out to (oversized) shape. Tomorrow I'll start bracing the top. By the way, three cheers for Bob at RC Tonewood for providing this beautiful mahogany with this distinctive ropey figure. Thank you, Bob!
