Looks like the photog is not wearing their hearing protection!

I thank you, Tom, and the Myrtle really thanks you!

How ever did you know that, Dennis? Yes, of course it will be a slot head!

Hi Bill, my theological buddies would say that's an "argument from silence". How appropriate, right? But though it looks that way, Ryan had his ear muffs on. What you're seeing is a couple extra pairs we keep around for visitors when they come to watch the rare moments when we actually work. ;)

Thanks for watching,

Steve

Haha, so not to be critical, but you really expect me to look at the IRW in that picture and not the bearclaw sitka (I presume) and the gorgeous rosette!!!! That is a great design.

That is some pretty phenomenal bear claw something. Man you are going to wow the socks off those guys at LaConner!!!!! :)

Tom, again my thanks. Yes that is Sitka, not only attractive but this piece has a glorious tap. We really do like this top wood. And thanks for the kind word re. the rosette. Much more pearl to come on this one.

Thanks Dennis, hope you are right! Going to be showing this up in Sitka country so it seemed appropriate to use "their" wood.

Wow ... very cool top and rose! Steve!!!

Beautiful and clean!

Thank you David, that means a lot!

And thanks to you as well brother. This one goes to Bob S. at Your Perfect Guitar.
Here's hoping he will like it.

January 26: Something unique

Hey that is pretty cool. Is it just me or are you guys doing more and more inlays all the time!!!

Nice looking inlay. Definitely unique.

Ryan, I forgot to ask earlier, is the pattern on this Myrtle fairly common or rare? (Plus bringing up this picture again can't be wrong :roll:)
