Quoted from Skins:Taylor, any chance for a second set for a fathom I’m restoring?
Skins I put you down for a set.
Quoted from Joey_N:May I ask how you finish them? Lacquer or 2 part clear? Thanks.
I use blue wood dye sold by Stewmac which is used for dying guitar bodies. After a couple coats of that I finish with clear lacquer. These rails take more time than any sets I have done before. Fathom is probably 3x the work of a standard set of rails with the tapered slot and curved notches. That said, I'm stoked to finally get some churned out.
I am finally caught up on about 25 sets of rails I had going and am going to get going on a run of Fathom rails.
This is my list of those that want a set. I am not adding to this list but want to be clear as to whom I have down for set in this next run. I have all material on hand to complete these so hope to crank these out. Rails for this run are 65+shipping. After this run price is going to get bumped up a little as cost to make these far exceeds any other set I have done. If anyone on this list is no longer interested please let me know. Thanks. - Taylor

As of 3/2 I have 11 sets in the works with the tapered slot routed, rounded grooves sanded and rails drilled. Next step, hope to get to it this weekend, is to sand everything and prep for finish.

Been working on these whenever I can, but frankly the weather has been shit for finishing. Finally had a couple decent days this weekend so hit them hard. As they sit they have had 6 coats of lacquer, then sanded with 320 grit and another, possibly final coat, was applied. These are he initial 10 sets I had in the works. I have another 4 sets in the wings that will be getting dyed tonight or tomorrow.
