chip carving is sick

You move 1/2 mm with the knife and your brake a piece of wood in 1/2 a second....

Of course my entire life I will GAS for a Somogyi guitar, because I will never be able to afford one and he is the best in the word at chip carving...

This is one of his rosette work...

not to mention his sick inlay work...

That Koi fish route looks amazing! Very artistic idea. The look of it may not be for everyone but it does look that it took a lot of time to get it done.

i love these guitars, and it makes me want a fanned fret acoustic so badly

beautiful work, no doubt!

but it does look that it took a lot of time to get it done.

That's why he charges 35'000$ + for one of those masterpieces....

Its ship carving work

Chip carving.... Of course this is not on a 2.8mm guitar top so its much more barbarian, but this is how its done..

Or thinner in the case of some lute and oud tops. Awesome post, Patrick.
