As I was building my Long Suffering Wife’s bass guitar, I also started building a Dreadnought. I am not putting out regular video’s like I have in the past, since I thought it was getting redundant. I am taking some B roll video and might make a build in an hour type of video. 
It turns out that I could have had a theme of ‘Oh crap, what did I just do!’. It really has made me question my choice of retirement hobbies. I usually name my guitars after the neck inlay that I make. This guitar was not going to have an inlay, until I needed one to hide a miscut fret slot. It could have been named ‘Perseverance’. So far, the body turned out really nice. The fret board was declared dead until the inlay resurrected it. The neck was headed for the trash about 4 times before finally making it. I am building a new one now. It was going to have a slotted headstock, but I am tabling that idea after a couple of fails. Here is a picture of the body and fretboard. The guitar will now be called ‘Sailing at Dusk’, but I may still call it Perseverance.
That is truly amazing. I can’t wait to see the finished product!
that is looking so good Mark, nice and neat man cheers Hec
At this point, neither can I! 
Did enjoy your first series of videos, Mark, both the craftwork and the frequent humour
Hey Mark!
Looks Sweet! I love the 
boat!
Add me in as one who wants to see the finished product!!! Have Fun!

Mark, that is one nice looking guitar your making there!
I find it most impressive. Your woodworking skills are outstanding for sure.
This new guitar your making woulda been just the guitar for David Crosby to be playing. Him being a real skipper/captain of a sea going sailing vessel and all.
I’d guess he’d have given you some serious blessings on your new design.
fwiw, I ‘think’ I used to be a skipper too. Albeit only with a speedboat. But I did take classes that took me through navigation. I stopped classes at celestial navigation as I didn’t see the need for that being land locked in NE. I took my classes via the United States Power Squadron. Just a bunch of sailors getting together to educate each other about boating. There were books w/tests at the end of each class. It was structured classes. There was much to learn.
Being on a boat you can be most isolated and there can be no one to help you if you get into trouble, which you can easy do for many reasons.
Anyways, your design moves me.
Great looking build ya got going on there!
Nice work Mark, really love that grain on the fingerboard. It would be such a rewarding hobby however I feel it may need more patience than I could muster. 
I love a nice little double ender.
Nice project. I see you are sailing to that hole (hull) in the water sailors are prone to throw money in 
Thanks David, hopefully Clueless will still think of reasons to make an appearance. I know that his Long Suffering Wife likes to do cameos.
Thanks, I love the grain on the crelican ebony fretboard. That is why I initially decided to skip an inlay and let the wood speak for itself. I tried to find a headstock cover to match, but I could not.
Yep, I have certainly thrown in my share. 
Very nice. I’m keen to know what timbers you’ve used around the sound hole.
Thanks! The largest piece pointed to the bridge is black ebony, on either side is figured ash(from the bass I built for my wife), followed by macassar ebony(?), wenge (from the back & sides), then repeated.
