Sacrificial Work Surface

… you don't want to ruin the table !!!

The big brown rectangle is a piece of 3/16" Masonite. This makes a very inexpensive sacrificial top. I just wiped it down with linseed oil to make it purty again; a light sanding once in a while doesn't hurt either. And when it gets too grody, throw it out and get another. It's like a giant placemat. Here, I have a placemat on top of a placemat. What does that say about me? Probably nothing very good.

Osprey Bass (BC Rich Eagle)

This beautiful instrument was built from a teak cutting board that I got for free from Home Depot for review. 32" Eden neck, active electronics. Teak is hard enough for a simple oiled finish. This one was built with a minimum of tools, mostly by hand, to show that it can be done and how.
