Back in SiJ '19, I shared 31 days worth of images from my workshop, as I worked through a couple of projects. I put the finishing touches on the nylon string tenor guitar this morning. Almost a year in the making, I stumbled a few times, backpedaling to correct mistakes I had made, including having to carve an entirely new neck when I incorrectly measured the first one. But here it is. My first completed instruments were a lot of work, but both had either pre-bent sides or a rough cut neck. This is the first instrument I have built 100% from raw wood.

I just strung it less than an hour ago, so I’ll be constantly retuning for a few days as the nylon classical strings settle in. I’m pumped though, and the next project has already begun.
