Construction

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Veneers

These are some veneers I ordered. The first is red gum, the second is beeswings eucalyptus. Both of these are mighty tonewoods and were very inexpensive. I'm going to see how they laminate over masonite. That could give a woody surface with a neat masonite edge, much like the old Danelectros, without the need to cover up a rough plywood edge with plastic binding. Masonite actually looks pretty cool under a clear coat as well, and it is stainable.
