Hey there, folks. :) It's been a while since Bluering has posted and those who know me know why, but the hiatus is over. New shop is complete (minus the tiddling that will be needed to get the flow of work right), and once I catch up to the few major projects that clients have been overly patient waiting for, I'll be back to regular work. Feels good to be making sawdust again. :)

I realize it's a bit anti-climactic after the days hubbub of an earlier post today but a few final shots of the "Hog's" sister. This is one made as a demo for me. Tamarind/Englemann Dred, Zebrawood bridge and fretboard, curly Koa bindings and my first try at a soundport. Jury is still out on that for me but other players seem to love it. This gives me two different models for folks to play and try out. (and of course it IS for sale. :) The Bruv's is now being sanded, buffed and polished prior to setup and I will leave the final posts of that build to him. :)

The Bruv's is finally sprayed and on it's two week sabbatical for the lacquer to cure. The other two are sanded, buffed and polished and setup starts tomorrow. No more pics of the "Hog" though until the new owner picks it up.

Final spray done on two of the boys....14 day wait for the lacquer to cure before wetsand, buff, polish and final setup.
