I just finished up this guitar today. The body and neck are both made from the original flooring from Cain's Ballroom. This is the same flooring that saw Bob Wills, Hank Sr., The Sex Pistols, and so many other historic music acts. I'm building 4 guitars from the flooring. This one is being raffled off to raise money for Tulsa Schools music education, 2 will go back to Cain's, and the last one will be the only one for sale.

Excellent, as always! But... you owe me a phone, because my guitarist buddies keep covering mine with drool when they see your creations. :biggrin:

Fantastic !!!! . Very well done and thanks for posting !!!
Thank you!

that is amazing. How do you finish it to retain all of that patina, and yet be suitable for use?
Thanks, Marcros. Well, considering this was a dance floor, I don't think it needs any extra protection :biggrin:. I did put a few coats of Formby's Tung Oil Finish on it to bring out the colors a little more, though.

Great work.
Thank you!

I delivered the twins to Cain's Ballroom today. These are the guitars that the owners ordered, and they each have a Bob Wills record for the pickguard. They were pretty stoked with them. While I was there, an act was setting up for a show tonight, a guy named John Moreland. He's going to play one of these tonight.

I delivered the final guitar last Friday. One of my retailers in Tulsa bought it for stock, and it's now for sale in their store.
