rough carve
The neck on the Mousa 003 hollowbody is rough carved and ready for me to finish getting the body together. This time of year is always crazy busy so I'm looking forward to getting this one into the booth once the dust settles.
Wood that didn't make the cut on the neck carve. Kind of a bummer to realize that more of the raw lumber ends up on the floor than in the guitar. But like any sculpture, you find what you need concealed inside and cut away what's unnecessary.
Above is my "carving shower" were I can better contain the mess of roughing out Mousa 003's hollowbody plates with an angle grinder fitted with a chainsaw wheel. Below is the grinder setup along with where I stopped using the grinder before switching over to hand planes.
From here on out it will be hand planes and scrapers before flipping it over to scoop out the inside.
This rough carve ended up on Friday's vlog. Check it out below and subscribe over on the Chubbuck Guitars Youtube channel.
