Ep 15 Time to Finish | Hand Tool Only Acoustic Travel Guitar Build - Guitar from a 4x4 FENCE POST

Welcome to Crimson Guitars HQ https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonC... In this episode, Ben works on some finishing touches with the line details and prepares to begin the finishing process. Using our Penetrating oil for the first coats, Ben also uses 1200 grit Wet & Dry sandpaper on the 2nd coat to enhance the finish and also act as a grain filler for the earlier line work. #luthier #guitarbuilder #travelguitar #handtoolsonly #acousticguitar You asked and Ben will deliver...our eccentric (read insane) Luthier will be building an entire guitar out of a single piece of Mahogany! With hand tools only...hopefully!
