First things first I had to break it up into usable bits and try and see if it was possible.

The infill panels are nearly 12 mm thick so some fairly serious planing will be required to loose the excess.

I got busy with the bandsaw and using the longest bit I could recover (about 900 mm) cut up some sides. I got two sets before I hit a dowel.
They are only 100 mm wide which is the reason for a parlour sized guitar.

The wood exhibits a nice glossy patina so I am hopeful of a result which wont look too duff,

One of the panels has a resin line running through it so I am a bit annoyed about that I would have enough for top back and sides if not for this.

The next step is to try and create a neck from the stuff but I have a couple of roughed out Sapele ones which are kicking about. I will do a bit more sawing and see what happens. This might become a slow project but I like to show what I am up to and hope that you all may share my objectives. More later.
