RAINY DAY AGAIN!???? Been wanting to try a split frame for a while. Decided on a OPFS (ish) frame its something I can cut relatively fast. So the last day I was home cut and glued up some 1/2 inch beech I had laying around.

As you can see in the first pic the grain is the wrong direction ????, so here goes the second attempt. 20 degree offset and VOILA! first split frame

Got home from work this morning to RAIN! Well, I thought there goes my fun day. But to my surprise the wifey told me I could finish it inside YYYAAAYYY!????

Went with a little ergo on this one. Roughed out ready for finish sanding, clean up the lines and then off to the oil bath

Enjoy and stay safe.

That looks great. Split frames are a lot stronger than one would think. Nice job on that one.

Thank you. Definitely need new clamps before I do it again.

That’s gonna finish up nice! I love the way you have it split up the middle, built like a proper 2 piece telecaster.

Thank you. Not bad for a first draft. Lessons learned

That looks really good, I shoot pfs on and off. Been liking a short draw OTT at the moment though.

Update: the newest addition shoots like a dream and didn't come apart taking my eye out!
