Most tonewood will move mainly across the width of the board. That being the case I dont think having a weight on top of the board is going increase the risk of splitting. I have alot of tonewood stored in my shop and the minnerichi was fairly green when it arrived and I suspect that in the humidity...

He reasonably assumed that oxygen wasnt in abundance in the primordial atmosphere....it was th...

The problem I have with all this kind of stuff is that it demonstrates how you earthlings are sooo completely full of your own self importance, that you cannot even perceive the possibility that life as you know it may not be the only kind of life in the universe. Well if there is life on other pla...

Minerrichi top set cupping and splitting
Ive got a Minnerichi top set that is starting to warp on me. Theres also a split propogating from one end. Whats the best way of dealing with the cupping and splitting. The set has been stickered under weights since I got it but doesnt seem to be helping.

Goings on in the workshop
One week now since I came back from work so I now have my sanity back along with enough energy to get back in the workshop. Current projects include a classical undergoing french polishing (Pic 1) and back bracing on a 12 string dreadnaught (Pics 2 and 3). http://www.mcguitars.com.au/phpBB2/userpix/...

Paul, Just going from the pic in the post IMHO the inlay needs to be a bit closer to the soundhole. Theres a bit too much wood between the inlay and the hole....to me it makes for a clunky look. Depends on the guitar as a whole of course. Can you pan back and take another pic of the whole top and po...

Naptha for removing oil
Okay Ive got a French Polish job here thats turning nasty on me. The shellac surface has a few minute breaks appearing in it. Its not an issue with shellac or the oil itself..both have been changed. The most likely culprit is some olive oil that has somehow gotten into the rosewood pores..possibly d...
