This is very cool...guy builds a semi-hollow from a shelf in his house

I saw that the other day. My initial thought was who has 2" thick shelves made of solid sapele just sitting around their house? The shaping of the top is something I would certainly lose my mind on somewhere along the way.

Yeah, I stumbled across this video Sat night... At least he didn't use finger planes to carve the top. Then you get to lose your mind and wreck your fingers! I would have sent that out to be CNC'd. I thought the same thing about the "shelves" too. Someone in the comments asked if it was customary in his country to have thick shelves made out of exotic wood.

Beautiful guitar though!

I love how the little girl at the beginning of the video is seen graduating from college by the end
Dang, that is impressive though.

It’s a beautiful guitar and he is quite skilled. I want to see part 2 where he will display how it plays and sounds
