Re: stripping a 1981 gibson flying v
boring update--finally had some time to work on this a bit more. In short, routing out a perfect hole and then shaping a piece of wood to also fit in said hole tightly is much easier said than done for the novice woodworker. I for sure have gaps and things are uneven and a little bit of me hates those Stewmac videos where he makes it all look so easy with his giant set of tools and like 50 years of experience.
I'm going to epoxy these blocks in, sand them back flat and then cover it all w/ a veneer to hide the uglies underneath. Still pretty hopeful about putting lipstick on this pig.
