Turning £10K of Wood into SHAVINGS! | Building a 42,000 Year Old Guitar! Ep 3
Welcome to Crimson Guitars HQ and Ben’s new studio set-up. In this episode Ben is working on the body of this guitar build, using the first chunk of 42K year old Swamp Kauri. This is going to be a hollow body guitar, which means that Ben has to turn this £10K piece of timber into Shavings!
This guitar is a commission and the client has requested that Ben use these shavings, embed them in resin and build a guitar for charity. Comment below with suggestions - what should Ben build with these Shavings & Resin?
