Ok I have listened and thought about this alot . I have compiled a List of the Challenge rules that should be followed to the best of ones ability . AGAIN as I have stated before , Honesty and creativity and FUN prevail. There are No Challenge Police , so we police ourselves . Decisions are to be made on your build with the above spirit in mind. If you have a question , refer to the Spirit of the Challenge . ( see above )

( 1 ) Any stringed instrument you wish to build .
( 2 ) $150.00 Maximum cost , or comperable cost to the land in which you reside " see Spirit of Challenge comment ". To include Wood , Hardware , and Finish IE : Laq , tru-oil , etc:
DO NOT count tools , Molds , glue , tape , sandpaper , cases etc:
Materials on hand should be given an honest value . See Spirit of challenge comment .
( 3 ) Woods must be Indigenous to your region " within reason " See spirit of challenge comment .
( 4 ) No CITES 1 & 2 Materials
( 5 ) Must be Participating OLF member and throw your hat in the ring prior to end of Jan 2012
( 6 ) Finished for judging by end Of may 2012 , allows for 1 month of judging to take place in june .
( 7 ) Pics and utube sound clip for judging .
( 8 ) Judging will be done by OLF public vote and the one with most votes at the end of June wins
( 9 ) This is about FUN and CREATIVITY , so lets not get bogged down in petty stuff . Police yourselves and
Keep in mind the SPIRIT of the Challenge .

START BUILDING AS OF JAN 1ST 2012 , AS OF THE LAND IN WHICH YOU RESIDE

There will be a $100.00 prize of Bandsaw blades Provided by Wudwerkr at the end , an additional $25.00 if a " Lurker / Newbie Wins

NOTE! Build threads are fine if you wish to do so , not a requirement

PLEASE do not bombard me with lists of questions , I promise they will be ignored !

I thought that rules 1 and 2 were "You don't talk about the build challenge"

No build thread required , but since its more for fun than anything , if a person wants to its fine .

Can we use materials that are locally available, or actually indigenous to our area? For instance, I get my WRC and mahogany at Menards. Can I use it?

Not as far as I know. I wonder if catalpa would work instead...

How about western red cedar? It doesn't grow in Indiana, but it is American.

I'll throw my hat in, in the vain hope that I'll have moved house and settled in quickly enough to actually get any building done before may :)

After much back and forth, I'm in. Don't know if I'll have time to finish but would like to give it a shot. I'm thinking a 12-fret 000 with walnut back/sides and spruce top. I need a beater guitar to keep around the shop and this could be it. All the other guitars I get in the shop to play don't stay cause they belong to other people ;)
