Some various raw wood factory photos ...

Post by Craig »

Here are some various photos posted this month on G&L's facebook page:
(posted 1/19/2016) Just routed binding channels on this double bound semi-hollow swamp ash ASAT. Need to clean them up before getting to work on the binding.
Image
(posted 1/20/2016) Time to make some sawdust.
Image
(posted 1/07/2016) Just got these mahogany body blanks prepped and into the seasoning room. Now to get them up on the racks and let 'em relax for a while.
Image
(posted 1/11/2016) Some swamp ash blanks before we started routing them this morning. As soon as the bit cuts into the wood, the scent is delicious.
Image
(posted 1/11/2016) Invasion of the body snatchers. ; )
Image
(posted 1/14/2016) Sanding these swamp ash ASATs this morning.
Image
Posted 1/12/2016) About to continue their journey in the woodshop. These have ebony boards and a few on the right have quartersawn maple. Getting clean ebony has been difficult.
Image
(posted 1/07/2016) Doing a 9.5" radius on some necks this morning.
Image
(posted 1/07/2016) Jaryd getting ready to work his magic in the paint shop.

The pure love of their craft and devotion to detail and quality is simply amazing as evidenced by the final outcome of these wonderful G&L instruments. There are none other like them. Jaryd, if yer free this weekend... I have an sc-2 that Id like to refinish :happy0007: Hats off to all the men and women at G&L for all they pour into these instruments and all the lives they touch through their work :happy0065:
