Kerfed Lining Made Easy Dale Henry Brown

Kerfed Lining Made Easy is the answer to the call from many amateur and professional instrument builders who want to be able to say their instruments are made entirely from scratch. Making kerfed linings is an arduous task causing many builders to go the less frustrating way by purchasing premade kerfed linings. After all, they are not all that expensive. The problem is there is a little sense of dissatisfaction that creeps in knowing that that portion of the project was not made by oneself. The author of Kerfed Linings Made Easy has 40 years' experience in woodworking and over 20 years making ukuleles and guitars. He has been down many roads of trial and error to become a master of his craft. After seeing a picture on Pinterest of a little jig used in cutting kerfed linings, he built upon the concept and developed a complete plan for making his kerfed linings. This book is the result of his work, which he is pleased to pass on to his fellow luthiers. Kerfed Lining Made Easy is filled with over 20 illustrations and detailed descriptions of how to go from a raw piece of wood to beautiful kerfed linings.
