Oh Man, it was going so well until that dig. Not that you're wrong about any of it.

91-92 degrees, I don't care. This post by Bruce has me feeling mightly fine. When I asked my question on page one, I spelled the little buggers as peone as a guess from memory. Since then I had seen two different names completely and nothing close to what I had spelled. I was just about to go back tonight and edit my spelling and the Voila, Bruce spells it as I had. YIPEEE ME!!!!

I think that “tentalone” is probably the proper name, and “peone”, which I am told means “little thing”, is the familiar (slang) form. I learned of the object in the most casual of situations, so peone suits me just fine.

I thought "peone" was that bush growing in the yard.
In kentucky/southern indiana, I think I better stick with glue block to have any chance somebody might know what I am talking about. I think I will try one without the mold this summer. I like that the top plate might be a bit more free. |

Ahh, peony. Would be covered in little ants here no matter the name.
Your description of the little wood blocks, "tadol" has been most helpful. Thanks |

I got slowed down a bit by not liking the Abalone I had acquired for the top purfling. I should have called JoAnn at Rescue Pearl the first time as she came across very nicely. Ordered on Friday, custom cut and delivered regular mail on Monday! Yay team.

Yesterday I had an old friend visit the shop. As I write this guitar is 14 years old. I neglected to document it when new, so I took a few pictures yesterday when it came in for a tune up, which it did not need, it is as solid as the day I delivered it. This is one of the first 00 sized OM's I made for Eric, a very good idea we have repeated quite a few times, though rarely are they done up style 40 like this one.
I finally made a page for this gem on my website HERE, and here are a couple of the pictures: Last edited by Bruce Sexauer; 05-03-2018 at 01:38 PM. |

I also like the pearl. Don't paint the top on that one black, okay? JR

In other news, I have completed Ben McKee's body and am ready to get on to the neck . . . except I am once again hosting an NCAL meeting this Sunday and MUST clean up a bit for it. Then it's pack for La Conner followed closely by a week of driving there and back with the show itself sandwiched in the middle. Then I have a Most Esteemed Client coming in to spec out his build. He'll be around for a week, in the middle of which he'll probably go visit Ben Wilborn in Reno while I watch my daughter graduate from college. THEN I get to the neck on this puppy! Let me entertain/bore you with a little more evidence of the progress: |

I took a new order today and I am excited to say I will be building a serious classical guitar for someone. I am not booked as far out as some of the peers, and expect to get to this one before the year end.
Not a new customer, he has traded in one of his 3 long owned Sexauers as the deposit. This has long been one of my favorite guitars, and I am confident that it will not be long before I find a buyer who agrees. I plan to take this to La Conner with me and price it a bit under what Eric Schoenberg sold it for in his shop in 2004. That's 2 price increases ago so it's a very dull roar, though still not the cheap seats. This Schoenberg Soloist (OM) is in very close to perfect condition, as you can see here: |

LOL, seems like quite a schedule...Make sure you are ready for the most esteemed client, I hear through the grapevine that he can be quite demanding, at least that is what his significant other told me
