I got this kit from John Hall at Blues Creek. Built it this winter in the wood shop and on my trailer patio in an rv park in Harlingen, Tx. 8 or 9 thin coats of Tru-Oil, some level sanding every two or three coats, and a little steelwooling. It has a nice semi-gloss look. Strung it up today and it sounds very good. When the sound improves with playing, it will be just what I want in sound for fingerpicking and blues.

Very nice! How does the koa top sound compared to spruce or redwood?

This wood had to become this guitar! And you did a geat job. Have fun playing.
The OOO I made 3 years ago is one of my favourite ones. Don't these little ones sound balanced and full of harmonics? They are underrated for sure. Herman Mar 05, 10 | 4:11 am

How appropriate for a Texan guitar to have a single star on the headstock! That is a fine looking guitar. Congrats! I have similar desires to someday build a small body in all Koa.
Enjoy it! Ken Mar 05, 10 | 4:38 pm

Sounds more mellow than a spruce top. More like mahogany.
