This was a strip, refinish and covert to passive project that left the shop a few weeks ago. A photo essay is over on the blog: http://www.chubbuckguitars.com/blog/2014/12/18/1987-carvin-dc-150-stripped-down-bursted
1987 Carvin DC-150 :: strip & refin with a belly carve.
This quilted maple Carvin finish project went out the door last week. It's natural finished was stripped, a belly carve sculpted into the back, refinished in a nitro sunburst and converted from active to passive. More details coming in a blog post this Sunday.
EDIT: blog post here.

The color layers on this quilted maple Carvin DC-150 are done and are ready to be sealed in with clear topcoats.
1987 Carvin DC-150 :: belly carve.
This is being stripped and refinished with light transparent nitro burst. The player decided that since it was stripped, we should add a comfort carve to the back where it contacts your ribs. Here it is roughed out with my new Lie-Nielsen spokeshaves.
1987 Carvin DC-150 :: stripping the cutaways.
Here I'm sanding off the poly finish in the cutaways by hand. I didn't want to spread anymore of this poly dust around the shop than necessary, so I tied up this vacuum rig. Works pretty well!
