Here's the warre style beehive made from the cypress.
Simple construction, not fine joinery, but effective and will be a cosy home for more bees.

Here we go again lads and lady lads
This time it's a little celtic style flat top mandolin I'm making.
This should be much faster now that I have all the tools and a bit more confidence 🫡
I cut out the form on the CNC and picked out some lovely walnut for the back and sides

The OM guitar is 95% finished!
It needs a truss rod cover and some fine tuning to the nut and saddle for intonation.
It's a German spruce top with German walnut back and sides.
The fretboard and bridge are ebony and the neck and binding are made from sycamore.
I'm quite proud tbh 😁

I've seen so many incredible Irish bands this year.
Soda Blonde were absolutely phenomenal in Vicar St this week 💚

The bridge is glued onto the OM guitar, and this evening I polished the frets.
Some wood tore out of the soundboard when removing the masking, but luckily it's mostly hidden by the fretboard, and I repaired the tiny visible part.
Final assembly tomorrow? 👀
