Looking good. Is that a rosewood center on the right?

Indeed it is. It’s a center of Kingwood. It’s for a Madagascar Rosewood OM with colored wood inlay...which may sound familiar.

Thanks Dennis, and yes...good eye...that is rosewood.
Mexican Kingwood to be precise. This will be the neck on an OM, using that last set of Madagascar rosewood. You might recognize it when the pics come up. Steve |

It's a bit overdue, so let me haste to revive this thread with some of our recent work. Stay tuned...

As I was saying, I'd like to share a couple of shots (or so) of some recent work. This is a multi-scale baritone being built for a friend. When we found this set of Spalted Bird's eye maple at the 2018 Woodstock festival, it was just too interesting to pass up. As with all spalted woods, there were some issues to attend to. But the wood has been stabilized and is already yielding its showroom pizzazz:

Cool! I love Baritones, and I bet this one will be stellar.

Hey thanks, Dan, glad you stopped by! Already, this thing thumps like a Howitzer. On instruments like this we get to experiment a bit. I'm trying something a bit different with the back braces, and so far it is quite promising.
We'll report how successful we were... Steve |

I remember last year you mentioned he might come. Does he have any interest this year?
