I have a feeling Woodstock is on this year. I haven’t heard much but I went to their website and I am listed as one of the contributing luthiers for 2021 so fingers crossed here we go. And now B.I.G. Is on as well. An excellent end to this lockdown.
First build is a Greybeard out of Bog Oak, a tree that was felled about 3200 BC and was preserved in a Bog (hence the name). The wood is dense and mineral filled and dark. I made a Tribal rosette to decorate the soundhole. Pretty sure that early man in the boggy parts of England were tribal. The top is bear claw Cedar.
