Kat found this Jackson Dinky for me. It was in pretty rough shape with lots of dings and even “HOMIE” carved through the clear coat… shame.. what a shame!
Hours and hours of sanding revealed a beautiful green grain running through the wood.
Roughing out the design on the face of the body. A better view of the green grain.
Many hours of finger sanding… ooooo my poor thumb and shoulder...
Mahogany wash and more sanding.
The first part of the clear coat process begins… now we wait for a couple of days…

Jackson Dinky
What lovely, contemplative, patient work.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Cheryl. This guitar carving has been a lot of fun to do. My children are musicians... I cannot play anything more than my iPod! This is my way of getting in on the music.
DeleteCarla you just amaze me at what you can do with an ole worn out guitar and turn it to a piece of art:)
ReplyDeleteLOL Sharron!... now if I could just do this with makeup!!
