What's on your workbench right now?

Re: What's on your workbench right now?
Made non-rocking thimbles, i was going to use tune-matic since i had spare one but neck would need too much shimming.
Had drilled already 12mm holes to body too
And if someone notices, i made holes offset for a reason.

good call on the offset holes! a good carpenter isn’t one who doesn’t make mistakes but is good at covering them up.

Hey!
It's been a few years OSG. Hope everyone is doing well! Missed you guys.
I've had more than a few things on my workbench in the last few years, but here's the most recent guitars to soon be finished. I'm sure I'll make an update thread here soon. If you're on instagram, you can also check my workbench out @widdershins_guitars now as well.

Re: What's on your workbench right now?
Thanks for the kind words guys, proud of these prototypes after a lot of design experiments.
I tested India Ink, Black stains, my own home made ebonizing solution, but in the end the finish that worked best was a 2:1 ratio mixture of black acrylic paint and water.
I tried everything to get that black grain look I wanted, with the control I needed to not spill out over the binding, or mistakenly stain any part of the exposed grain in the process.

Outstanding designs and execution! That neck/body joint is
