That's the essence of CBG building, rough and ready, then learn from it and gradually improve for the next one.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01376547251592722914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35757443.post-90067418002652882132008-05-07T10:37:00.000+00:002008-05-07T10:37:00.000+00:00i've had ideas with this for sometime too, but yet...i've had ideas with this for sometime too, but yet have the skills to put it into action. i'd love to have a mix between sanded finished and rough. i'd love something to be made from a big root, or have some bark still on or something. if this would work or not is completely different<BR/><BR/>samAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35757443.post-43238066438620385212008-04-20T17:01:00.000+00:002008-04-20T17:01:00.000+00:00Hi David, I like the ethic of low tech rough and ...Hi David,<BR/> I like the ethic of low tech rough and ready, but I'm addicted to sandpaper and varnish!<BR/> I can't leave anything alone till it's smoothed and shiny....Bad...<BR/><BR/>Jeff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35757443.post-59379186971699962442008-04-08T09:45:00.000+00:002008-04-08T09:45:00.000+00:00I think this is the right way to go with cbg's too...I think this is the right way to go with cbg's too. I've had some laughs out of the Yeti On a Budget track on the CBG Masters Vol 1 CD. This isn't an exact quote as the lyrics are a little hard to decipher (and I'm going from memory) but I think the singer says about his cbg that the neck is 'carved from a big twig' and then goes on to say the bridge is a 'big rock'. <BR/>Excellent - can't fault it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646343482236530773noreply@blogger.com
