Doing Things Wrong

Ash is a medium-hard somewhat heavy wood with an open grain structure. This makes it a bother to finish, but the striking grain patterns under a clear-coat are well worth the effort. Otherwise famed as broomsticks and baseball bats.


Solid ash body, 32" neck, active electronics ( stacked tones. )

This is my little bandsaw. A saw like this costs well under $100 and is well worth it. While a scroll saw can cut thick body material, a band saw does it much better. A bandsaw also rips through hard maple necks much faster than a scroll saw.
