Restored Bass
I was lucky enough to be given a Fender Squier Bass which had been partly restored after some heavy damage. I've completed the restoration and left it a natural wood finish. It looks and sounds wonderful but it hasn't improved my playing at all!

I've always loved working with wood and now that power tools like scroll saws, band saws, routers etc. are so cheap that they come within budget, I am starting to produce work that I am very pleased with.
