New Tenor

Here is my latest tenor.
It is built from an old mahogany table with a birdseye maple fboard,sapele neck,mahogany bridge and box nut and saddle.
Still settling but sounds promising loud,robust and responsive.

Looks great! Is that a pyramid style bridge? I'd love to hear how you made it. It looks nice and crisp.

here is a detail of the bridge.
Not too difficult to make.Just decide where you want the pyramids,square off and cut down carefully with a small saw leaving about 2.5mm of wood.Then draw a cross joining the angles for a guide.Then with a sharp chisel cut away the triangles starting with the 2 cross grain and trim off the other 2 along the grain.A bit of judicious filing and sanding to even it to your satisfaction - job done.
Glad you like it.I love pyramid bridges (they don't have to be symetrical of course) and they seem to make sense structurally in that you still have a large gluing surface but the central part of the bridge where the strings attach is freer to move

Real nice work...Love it...!!! I like the pyramid bridge too...!!!

Beautiful work Marshall.

Looks super cool, man. Thanks for sharing.

Looks nice, bet it sounds nice too. Do I see a slightly compensated, angled bridge and saddle?

thanks for the nice comments.
There was no intentional compensation could be the photo or maybe i just stuck the bridge on the wrong place!Sounds good though...
