Thanks tfcreative, That top is camphor burl.

Greetings, A quick view of the current Gecko. Hopefully there will sunshine in my state this weekend. Waiting on one string and a Jack plate. But for the most part it is done.

Cagey, Thanks Cagey, yes it is camphor burl.

Thanks swarfrat, I still have about 3 to 6 weeks before being totally done. I have enjoyed this build more than any other build I have ever done. Once again Thanks

Greetings, Here's a sneak peak of my Gecko 6 I am building.

line6man here is my neck. Bubinga neck shaft with  ebony fretboard lined fretless.

Skuttlefunk , Thank you for your input on this subject. I will check into them, I have paid upwards on the dollar scale before for strings. Price doesn't matter to me, sound does. Once again thanks for your input.

Bagman67 how is this size?

Greetings, Here are some other pics of the neck. Its about 95% completed now.I am really starting to like how this is coming out. Never knew burnishing could be so much fun to do. I sat in the back yard and watched our dogs play while I did this. Made for a fun afternoon. Thanks.

Greetings, Got the Gecko 6 neck burnished finally. I started at 320 grit ended with 12000 grit. Really made it super smooth. I have never done this before so it was a really neat challenge for me. I will do this from now on. Thanks
