Decided to build a cabinet for a combination bookcase/guitar case...the top drawer accommodates a humicase perfectly [:)] Please tell me what you guys think of my Paduak cabinet [:D] Lorenzo Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

Be careful that your guitar doesn't catch on fire inside of that cabinet. It's scorchin', man! [:D] Olé! [8D]

Leñador -> RE: My Conde Hermanos Fiery Red Cabinet (Feb. 17 2017 3:31:22)
That is one loud cabinet! Lol Great craftsmanship man! Is that solid paduak?? I've never heard of paduak ply, if it's solid did you biscuit the pieces together for the box and top??? Great stuff man!

estebanana -> RE: My Conde Hermanos Fiery Red Cabinet (Feb. 17 2017 6:19:01)
Does is get peg tuners or machines?

Anders Eliasson -> RE: My Conde Hermanos Fiery Red Cabinet (Feb. 17 2017 7:37:42)
Its a lovely looking cabinet and a good idea for keeping your favorite guitar healthy. Unfortunately the color of Padauk fades away very drastically when exposed to light. I know a small padauk cabinet that is almost grey-brown. But the beautifull craftmanship will always be there. [:)] And in the long run, a more "relaxed" color may fit in better.

Save on insurance. Put a red Conde in the drawer and burglars wouldn't notice it! Rob

Joan Maher -> RE: My Conde Hermanos Fiery Red Cabinet (Feb. 17 2017 15:46:38)
That's extremely Red what does the top guitar look like inside?

Lorenzo714 -> RE: My Conde Hermanos Fiery Red Cabinet (Feb. 18 2017 1:35:17)
Hahaha....Got you guys! Leñador was on to something.....do you guys really think it's Paduak? [:D][:D]. Anybody care to guess the wood i really used?

Leñador -> RE: My Conde Hermanos Fiery Red Cabinet (Feb. 18 2017 1:54:26)
Ahah! Lol, I'm gunna take a stab and say you used regular old doug fir acx ply??

Anders Eliasson -> RE: My Conde Hermanos Fiery Red Cabinet (Feb. 18 2017 8:05:02)
Whatever it is, its a nice cabinet and now you can rest assured the color will most probably last.[8D] spruce?

Lorenzo714 -> Guess the Tone Wood..... (Feb. 18 2017 13:11:11)
Very Good!!! Congrats to Ethan and Lenador for guessing Pine[:)].....Yes I am cheap LOL! But my idea was to take a very low grade wood like pine and make it sparkle. THANKS to all about your kind comments about the craftsmanship. I'm sure all you Luthiers are capable of making similar cabinets of even better quality! This was experiment with a special surprise in the top drawer for the future........and what's inside is definitely not Pine....... So what 2 types of wood would you guess.....

eccullen -> RE: My Conde Hermanos Fiery Red Cabinet (Feb. 18 2017 15:41:36)
Koa under port orford cedar

Lorenzo714 -> RE: My Conde Hermanos Fiery Red Cabinet (Feb. 19 2017 0:56:57)
Anymore guesses?

estebanana -> RE: Guess the Tonewood..... (Feb. 19 2017 3:48:04)
The wood inside is spruce of some kind. Then cypress. Figured wood is Oregon Myrtle or Black Acacia, or American Maple- they all can look similar in a pine drawer.

FERREREZAKI -> RE: My Conde Hermanos Fiery Red Cabinet (Feb. 19 2017 7:48:12)
Cypress & Ceylon (satin Wood)

Miguel de Maria -> RE: Guess the Tonewood..... (Feb. 19 2017 16:19:58)
I was hoping it was going have sound samples of a guitar and everyone would say it's Brazilian rosewood and then you say, ha ha! No, it's actually plywood and paper mache, it's all in ze lucier's hands!

Lorenzo714 -> RE: Guess the Tonewood..... (Feb. 19 2017 23:14:42)
Ok between everyone's guesses you guys got it..... The wood is Oregon Myrtle and Port Orford Cedar....some of the POC is curly for back and sides and straight tight grain for a nice top....oh and guess what project I am about to embark upon....little by little...I'm not in a rush [;)] I already have a lot of tools but didn't have this one until yesterday.....picked it up almost like new for under 500 !

You'll be sorry.

Lorenzo714 -> RE: Guess the Tonewood..... (Feb. 20 2017 0:56:04)
Why...because of the tracking? I already took it apart and put it back together and adjusted it properly. It ran 30 minutes good [:D]

estebanana -> RE: Guess the Tonewood..... (Feb. 20 2017 1:51:05)
What John said. Get used to taking it apart and retracking it, I had one from 2003 to 2013 and in the accumulated hours I spent adjusting it and hating its guts, I could have built two guitars. The other issue is it will also begin to sand tops unevenly side to side- one side will be higher or lower than the other and you get wedge shaped tops. If it were me, and it has been, I would use it for final sanding ribs after taking most of the wood off with a hand plane. I sold mine for $400.00 when it was ten years old, I felt like a sleazy used car dealer pawning off a lemon. Anyway, High Five to ECullen and me for guessing POC and Oregon Myrtle!

mqbernardo -> RE: Guess the Tonewood..... (Feb. 20 2017 23:19:14)
Pink ivory! Oh, damn, too late... nevemind then.

estebanana -> RE: Guess the Tonewood..... (Feb. 21 2017 14:40:01)
Ricardo thinks rosettes are plastic stickers. So I'll make a machine to make them for him

Ok, now I get it, sometimes old people are kind of slow on the uptake [:D].
