Here's a couple of experiments. Thought Id try a few things Ive seen around here. Double closed end clipless in ziricote and a hidden clip in ebony on a bocote body. I wanted the ebony to still look like wood, so its finished to 800 and then some BLO. Yes, it does look Frankenstein-ey...:rolleyes:
Im fairly happy with how the hidden clip came out, but Im sure theres a tutorial somewhere with a better technique. Im still tied to kit centerband/coupler parts for now, but I do have taps and dies on the way!
Thanks for looking, and thanks to all for the motivation, inspiration and instruction!:highfive:
John

I like the shape of the one with no clip. Nice work.
There is an article in the 2011 library called hidden clip. But the author uses a Dremel. Not sure if you have a Dremel.
Keep up the good work.
