Thank you. It was definitely better than letting it just sit.
Thanks. The neck did come out pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised. I bet a lacquer finish would have looked great on it. My initial idea for the paint scheme was a hammered look, but it didn't go as planned. Sunburst would have been awesome.

Thanks. It was a cool process to try out.

You are welcome. And no, I'm sorry, this is the only one that I made.
I used Inkscape (a free software) to make the pattern. I have a couple of tutorials on how I make patterns if you would like to see if they would help you out. Here's the link - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlXsqAWo0V6LACPB-nW1xG1YL-nSGBtrY

No worries.

Good advice and very true. That is why we chose the 1/4" plywood panel for the art and a hardwood frame.

This stuff isn't the easiest to use either, as far as peeling off, but it most certainly is better than some spray adhesives I've used.
Yeah, I have had a few people mention that on other forums. I use that method with scroll saw patterns quite often. I wasn't sure if the painter's tape would seal the edges good enough for the paint not to seep through though. It probably would have worked fine. I was just being overly cautious. Thanks for the kind words too.

I have seen other people do it, but have never tried it myself. It seems like it should work.

Haha, yes, we did try it. I gets tangled up pretty easy since there isn't any give in the bristles.

Great opinion. You're right, I think everyone prefers a different flex. I, for one, usually play with a 1.2 mm pick, which is semi-stiff, really stiff by some standards. This would pick isn't too far off from that, though there is absolutely no flex. It starts at roughly 3 mm and tapers to just about 1 mm. So the business end is about right, but the grip is much fatter. Thanks for the comment. I enjoyed reading it.

Exactly. Transferred from my printer to the wood, I guess. Lol. Keeps a nice clear and crisp image this way. Thanks for checking it out.

Haha. No really, thanks. And hey, someone has to fill that position.
We figured that out once we were done. Rookie mistake, haha. We are working on a larger one and definitely using registration holes and dowels. Thanks for pointing that out.
