*trigger warning* Guitar Making cont...

{Sorry to interrupt the conversation with guitar making ideas, I know there are important squabbles in progress. I’m sure this matter will not take up too much of your valuable attention.}

I’m making the Santos/Esteso style tile element that looks like a crenulated castle wall top.

Instead of exposing end grain on the visible surface of the tile, I cut the core piece of wood so flat grain would be visible. End grain soaks up finish and becomes darker, flat grain stays lighter toned under finish.

If you follow you’ll soon get what I’m getting at…

Happy warring!
