Fascinating, Gary! I'll be waiting in front of my my computer with baited breath for each new episode!!! Thank you for taking the time to conceive and produce this series.
That was awesome , thank you so much for taking the time for us , such a gorgeous end product full of original and valuable goods , wow ! great job . Merci
Really enjoyed your work and love the design. I've always loved grass seeds and the wheat seed head is lovely. It reminded me of a documentary I filmed of a shepherd who grew his own wheat and made corn dollies. I also made pottery with scraffito wheat heads. I have yet to make purfling. I keep putting it off, but it is a good skill to be able to design & produce. You are right. Building the guitar is one thing, but things like purfling inlay into the headstock and back etc is the artistry. Thanks.
Garrett me solucionaste un gran problema estudio lutheria en Buenos Aires Argentina y tenia que hacer un filete parecido y se me complicaba entender como pero gracias a este video todo fue mas facil GRACIAS!!!
The picture on the wall reminds me of the floor in Basilica in Rome,,i actually took a photo of the floor with the idea for a rosette, strange coincidence,
What a fascinating video! I'm getting ready to close the box on my first acoustic, while I'm not planning fancy purfling, this gives me a lot of inspiration for future builds! Thank you.
Very beautiful work and a unique pattern. Well done and nicely demonstrated. I know making videos takes lot of time but I would be interrested in a video where you demonstrate how to install such purfling alongside the binding around a guitar body... what tools you use, how to make everything fit, what tools you use to finish the process, etc. Thanks.
If you mean for the parallelogram glue ups, hide glue would not be a good choice because it's advantageous to have a long open time so that you can make sure every block is perfectly aligned before clamping. Fish glue would be a better choice for its extended open time. If you plan to use heat to bend, hide or fish would not be a good choice because either will melt and the purfling will fall apart.
Thank you for very informative video. I'm already somewhat familiar with the technique of a "symetrical' wheat pattern, but I much prefer the offset style. But I'm a bit confused. What I see you doing physically in the video with the individual halves - and what the result that you are showing is - appear to be two different things entirely. Am I wrong or are you making two 'different' layered stick patterns and then gluing them opposite each other? I completely understand if you are trying to simply highlight the technique without giving away all your secrets, but if that is the case you might mention it under the video as this could end up costing someone (like me _ grin) a lot of money when trying to emulate. That aside, I seriously appreciate your attacking the subject at all. You are the only one on TH-cam doing "wheat" specifically.
In the video, I make two sets of layups, each with a different pattern. This is why I have do the process twice in order to produce two halves that are different--not just asymmetric in terms of offset spacing, but different in terms of number of kernels on the wheat head. If you want to simplify things and use less material, make one layup (with a single pattern), take 2 slices off your resulting log, and flip one over to complete your wheat pattern. You can still offset the spacing of the two halves to create asymmetry.
This is the best description of wheat purfling construction that I have seen. A labor of love.
Awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
amazing work! congrats! im giving my first steps in classic guitar building and this series of videos are extremely useful
favourite inlay ever!.....nice work!
I’ve always wanted to know how purfling was done down the center of the back. All that labor is so worth it, beautiful design and such a great touch.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and learned a little more about your guitars.
I love the bold choice of starting the series with a purely decorative step!
Beautiful, fascinating art. Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.
Helps me to appreciate the artistry in your instruments! Thanks, Gary.
Thanks for watching and seeing how a bit of the craft is done!
Fascinating, Gary! I'll be waiting in front of my my computer with baited breath for each new episode!!! Thank you for taking the time to conceive and produce this series.
Thanks for your interest, Jeff!
Thank you.
Love this! So much nicer than the simple two line purfling.
Fantastic work and a stunning end result.
Kudos! One more on board!
That was awesome , thank you so much for taking the time for us , such a gorgeous end product full of original and valuable goods , wow ! great job . Merci
Beautiful purfling Garrett!
Beautiful craftsmanship!
Amazing and Beautiful, thank you for sharing.
Muito lindo, parabéns!
It was fun to watch this video while following along with my 2019 Garrett Lee guitar. So nice to own a guitar that looks as beautiful as it sounds.
awesome
So time consuming, but so satisfying to see the end result.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
very cool! thanks for paying this forward... cheers

I'm very inspired and grateful to you. Thanks
Lovely work! Thanks!
Awesome, thanks a lot.
Ton of work - great job!
Thanks for sharing this technique in detail
It's my pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Yeh that is pretty impressive actually
That is pretty cool! Also, Palouse is everywhere. One of my kids got a tattoo of wheat on her ankle - we lived in Moscow for years.
I'm glad we were all able to experience the unique setting of the Palouse!
Beautiful at all!!!
@GarrettLeeLuthier thanks for the lesson. What type of blade do you use on the bandsaw please?
That was awesome!
My guitar sounds so much better now that I've seen your video. Thank you for sharing this 🙂

De nada, Daniel. Estoy feliz puedo ayudarle.
Loving this ❤
Excelent! Thank you!

Amazing job. Thank you Gary.
Thanks for your interest, Gavin!
BEAUTYFUL!
Thank you. I appreciate the nice comment.
Gorgeous...
Great result
Thank you for your interest.
Super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Muito bom Garret Lee. Obrigado por compartilhar o seu conhecimento. Estou aqui no interior do Brasil e compartilhei o seu vídeo com amigos.

Thank you very much. Eventually, I will make a video about binding and purfling, but that will be much farther down the road.
Wow. Would you have information on rope binding? Thank you.
How do you get the veneers? Veneer saw?
That's slick purfling
Linda arte! Imenso prazer em ver essa criação
Is that a Tatay guitar behind you on the top shelf?
It's an inexpensive 3/4-sized Ariana--my first guitar that I received as a nine year old.
Wonderful video. Question could you you fish or hide glue on the parallel glue-ups??
If you mean for the parallelogram glue ups, hide glue would not be a good choice because it's advantageous to have a long open time so that you can make sure every block is perfectly aligned before clamping. Fish glue would be a better choice for its extended open time. If you plan to use heat to bend, hide or fish would not be a good choice because either will melt and the purfling will fall apart.
Where do you get your veneers to make these? Most of the lengths I see online are 12 inches. Super cool video btw!
I get the 0.3 mm thick veneers from lmii.com and the 0.5 mm from https:/dyed-veneer.com/
Qual é o grau desse corte?
11 degrees.
