Redwood/Quilted Maple Two-Point

[Steve Sorensen]

Here is a Sprite Two-Point with Curly Redwood top and Quilted Red Maple back/sides/neck that I am just starting finishing on -

Wiped down with water in the shop -

And a quick video of Randy Torno playing it before final sanding to help me listen for final tweaks-

Note - I just noticed the YouTube video is freezing at about 1:05 . . . still plenty for this little demo.

I'm pleased that this combo of "hippie-wood" (as Spruce Bruce calls it) is sounding like something worth doing again!

I'll post an update when hardware is back on in a few weeks.

Nice work...
I always liked that particular tree in curly redwood....

[JEStanek]

That looks fantastic. I can't wait to see how you finish it.

Beautiful! That redwood top is awesome looking and the back is just crazy. Love the two point design. Very cool.

Steve, love that two-pointer! Quilted maple and redwood is the perfect combo!

Quilt stained and then sealed with a quick spray of shellac.

Anyone want to scrape the bindings for me?

Steve

[JEStanek]

I might be willing to offer to scrape bindings but the finish better be drool proof.

Here's the front after scraping the bindings and one wipe of varnish -
