Sneek Peek .. Sapele and Maple Deco Style
Here is a fun one about ready for finish. This in still the raw, but the grain should pop nicely once the Tru Oil starts going on.

Very elegant Tom, you have that Art Deco touch! The headstock has a really nice look to it.

Nice
Very cool, art really! Most of my lap steels are about as artistic as a baseball bat, and equally dangerous when swung; not these, nice job.

Thanks Bill, I manage to get lucky sometimes
Last coats of finish went on yesterday and now it needs to cure out a week or so till the final polish / rub out.
Here are a couple quick pics of the control cover, knobs, and pickup rings I made for her. I also made one of my cool Deco style covers for the neck pickup. They are a royal pain in the ass to do, but I love the way they look.
