That green one is awesome! (well, the awesomer one of the bunch)

next time you carve trees and a landscape into a guitar, can you do it slower and get a bob ross voiceover?

The green one!😍 They look really good , but man, that green one is marvellous.

Those look like some happy little trees

I love how your guitars remind me of the guitars I used to dream of owning in the 70s at Sears. Never got one but have overcompensated 100 fold

Indeed! I love all the old kookie Japanese guitars, the Harmonys and Stellas... THey are absolutely my inspiration in design. Good eye.

Awesome stuff. I have a guitar made from reclaimed wood built by a local guy and I love it. It has a minimal finish so you can see the scars and gouges in the old wood. I like the rustic nature of the guitar coupled with the fact that it completely breaks the mold of normal guitar design. I'm glad you are bold enough to break with 1955 technology and do something new. So few people are.

I like the way the green one looks (including the body shape), and how the dark colored one sounds. Thanks!

I have a couple sponsors now I'm developing relationships with which will indeed make it easier to make more unique videos instead of just filming client work. there are only so many stool and table videos one wants to make or watch! now I'll try to burn you all out on guitar vids instead :)

Great project Tim, great video... Thanks for sharing.

Another winner Tim! Very original. So definitely a big Yay!

What i like about you is you actually use a little extra thought and build guitars totally unique. Amazing, had to subscribe!

The blue one is beautiful, but the green one... Oh my, there's no words to tell how precious and perfect it is. They both are like a Dano, but better since these are totally handmade.

Hi Tim. Definitely a "yay" from me! I prefer a guitar to look "lived in", and to have the "showroom shine" knocked off. I love what you did with the blue one, but the green "Bob Ross Special" is a stroke of genius!

I have certainly had those pallets, too. Pallets that had heavy things on them are what you want (like concrete, stones, etc). Go to the industrial side of town and look behind those buildings. The pallets behind the department stores and box stores carry clothes and light stuff. more likely to be crap wood.

I live in Eastern Canada, there used to be a cotton mill in my town, the cotton came in as bales on pallets from several different tropical locations. It left as bolts of cloth not on pallets. It was apparently significantly cheaper to build new pallets in the places the cotton was coming from than it was to ship the pallets back. So you could have as many pallets as you wanted free of charge, I burned thousands of them. They were all quality tropical hardwood of unknown species. 30 odd years ago the mill closed and although it's easy enough to find a pallet if you need one it's going to be flimsy softwood and you'll have to pay the core charge on it. So anyway, whether pallets are thing where you live depends in your local economy.

Using Arbortech 'bits' for belly and arm relief (and the Bob Ross touch on the green guitar 🌲 Those *were* happy trees, right? LOL) seems to work well....and you'll get nothing but better at it as you use those more often. For finer (and fairly fast) finish carving, I would suggest maybe a Japanese rasp. I bought one on a whim (cheap on Amazon...for the one I got, anyway) and I love this thing!! Give it a try! You've got to be able to feel the rougher spots, no?? Overall, great idea, though! :-)
