Unfortunately I haven’t had a lot of free time to work on projects outside of work lately so I haven’t had much to post about. I have made some progress with the guitar I’m building. I picked up a few pieces of Engleman spruce to use as a top. They actually are intended for use as a mandolin soundboard, but the dimensions were right for my project and they were cheap.

They came in a book-matched set. Nothing exotic, just plain old spruce with out much flame. Still I love the look of natural wood. I’m thinking about using a transparent finish on the top. First things first though.
