Finish work :: Martin-style dreadnought [4.6 lbs]

Finish work :: Martin-style dreadnought [4.6 lbs]

Here's a brazilian rosewood Martin-style dreadnought from another builder that I did the finish and final setup work for.  Got to keep my finish chops up in between my own builds when I can.  Still trying to get a booth installed in my shops- someday.  Just takes time and money.

Whew! Guild neck resets are always a little more involved but this guy is just about ready to glue up. Guilds use a shallow dovetail angle so the fit is more critical than others. Time to buff out the finish repairs around the joint, glue, clamp and drink a beer.

I occasionally do finish / setup work to help other builders out.  These two Brazilian Martin-style builds were prepped for finish, then sprayed and buffed out in nitrocellulose lacquer.
