VR Wood Mods bottom feeders kiwi style

[vkiwi]

The size I use is 2.5mm ID, 5mm OD from hobby shops, they use it for fuel lines in R/C models. Make sure it is soft silicone not the flexible plastic

Jazz's body coming together, for caps to be put together tomorrow. All laminating is now complete except the button and dt. Turns out that after a process of cutting, sanding, and gluing repeatedly, there is now 130 pieces of wood in the body, and will be around 160 in the complete mod.

Timbers used are quilted red gum for the main body, mahogany in the bands, and matai as the small contrasting blocks, and mahogany and matai again for a 3 layer laminated band in each cap. Top and bottom of the caps are red gum and will be carved to shape.

Every time I see another Vr creation I have to smile, it is so exiting to see a new mod emerge and all the creativity on this thread.
Cadman congratulations on your new baby, I know you are happy, she is beautiful, love the shimmer of the wood on yours. I can hardly wait for my next turn to come around.

I love that wood contrast you have going there. The sheen in the body is incredible in the sunlight!

Sure am. School is finished so I don't have to get up any particular time in the morning. 1am is a good time in the shed. I often do my best work in the wee hours...
