Arm rest making

     I was pretty busy for doing the fretting work and strings action adjustment for the 12-strings guitar. I only had time to make an arm rest for the Nylon model. A body for the nylon model already has installed three post bases for the arm rest installation. I drilled three post holes. Arm rest has a clearance between the sound board surface and the armrest surface to avoid touching the top from a player's right arm. This design is able to maximize top vibration. This armrest also is able to improve a comfort level for a guitar player. Before apply finishing, I will apply a black die for the maple armrest. This dieing process makes pretty beautiful flamed pattern on the arm rest.
     Next week, I go to vacation. Sorry, I am not able to update this blog for next two weeks.
