I've been working on building the pickup cover lately. It's slow but I'm really happy with how its coming along. Ebony is really hard. Its like carving plastic. I tried routing this with my dremel at first but it was just making a lot of smoke without actually removing very much wood. I opted to use just a wood chisel and its working well. I have the cavity carved out now, I just need to make it about twice as deep and it will be done. The inside doesn't really need to be pretty since no one will see it. I also need to shine up the pole pieces on the pickup so they are nice and clean looking. It appears that the previous owner had painted them black. Once this is done, then all the woodworking is done and I can begin getting the rest of it together.
