Firebird

The Curly Maple lays on top of Purple Heart backs. This Firebird is made from Purple Heart and Maple. The wings are book matched Curly Maple.

The neck is also Maple sandwiched between two pieces of Purple Heart.

The Red Special part 2

For the neck I've sandwiched a strip of Maple between two strips of Padauk. The wood is clamped together and clamped to the work table to keep it flat.


The neck blank and the center piece of the Red Special body after being planed. The center piece has not been joined to the wings just yet.
