  1. Now that's a neat work on stringing! All the coils on the tuning pins equal height. Bravo.
    Nice signature on the nameboard too. How did you write it? transferables or free hand or what?

  2. The nameboard was screen printed.

    I prepared the art work on a computer, printed it onto transparent film and then transferred the image to a screen covered with a photo sensitive coating.

    The lettering was printed onto a separate very thin strip of maple veneer that was then glued in place on the nameboard. I decided to do it that way because I knew that I wouldn't get it right the first time - in fact I printed 4 strips and used the one that looked best.
