Custom Lap Steel in Oak and Sapele

Final finish and sound test of my latest custom lap steel featuring a white oak cap that has been on the bench for about the last year waiting for just the right build... It seemed only fair to pair it with a solid single piece Sapele body for immense sustain and an awesomely dark tone... That the end result was so perfect for the occasion is the cherry on the icing on the cake!

Tis a lovely hunk of wood! I just scraped away all the bits that weren’t a lap steel 🤷‍♂️
