**SOLD!**

Thank you to everybody who expressed interest in my Bog Oak OM & who came to my studio workshop to try it out. The response & feedback I got was overwhelmingly positive, which gives me further drive & determination to succeed as a luthier.

I'm very pleased to say that it is now happily away with its new owner.

It was a very unique guitar, with an equally unique voice. I will definitely be making more guitars with Bog Oak in the future.

Cheers 🙏🏽

Drilling holes is easy. Drilling holes in the right place though...well that's another matter! These drill bits aren't cheap, but they're worth every penny.

Hello all! I hope everyone is well. This guitar w

Hello all! I hope everyone is well.

This guitar was recently completed & strung up about a month ago. It is my MD-C model. The wood has some history to it too - the Sitka Spruce soundboard is from an old billet that was split back in the late 80's (which I have two more sets of) and the Indian Rosewood back & sides are from master luthier, Stefan Sobell's collection of fairly ancient wood, which I was lucky enough to buy a few sets of a few years ago.

Once again, the very talented Heather Cartwright @heathercartwrightmusic plays one of her own compositions, "The Bell That Never Rang".

As always, a nice pair of headphones or speakers will do the audio justice.

Some specs are:
Top: Sitka Spruce
Back & Sides: Indian Rosewood
Neck: Mahogany
Scale length: 643.5mm (25.4″)
Nut width: 44mm (~1 3/4″)
String spacing @ bridge: 11.3mm (~2 1/4″)
Body depth @ heel: 100mm (4")
Body depth @ tail block: 125mm (5")
Bindings: Bloodwood
Fingerboard & Bridge: Ebony
Nut & saddle: Unbleached bone
Machine heads: Gotoh 510's with Ironwood buttons

I hope you enjoy!

Feedback, comments & questions are always welcome.

Cheers,

Oska 🙏🏽

I discovered the incredibly talented Heather Cartwright's @heathercartwrightmusic music awhile back & instantly thought that her playing style would be perfect for my guitars. So I invited her down to my studio workshop a few weeks ago to do some recordings.

Here she plays one of her own compositions, "Goodnight Glasgow", on my OM in Alpine Spruce/Bog Oak.

As always, a nice pair of headphones or speakers will do the audio justice.

Some of the guitar specs are:

Scale length: 630mm (24.9″) – short scale
Nut width: 44mm (~1 3/4″)
String spacing @ bridge: 11.3mm (~2 1/4″)
Body depth @ heel: 91mm
Body depth @ tail block: 105mm
Soundhole ø: 98

Hope you enjoy!

Cheers

Mummification works best. I've tried all the other methods 😬

There are a couple of sets of Tasmanian Blackwood bindings under all that bias binding. I'll leave them overnight & then have perfect bindings in the morning. Ready to bind this beautiful pair of deep bodied OM's I'm currently building.
