Very nice!
Walnut can give a fantastic tone and it looks great too. |

Thanks colins, this is the second guitar in a row using black walnut, and coincidentally both guitars were both commissioned by local players. I could not be happier with the look and sound of walnut.

Looks to be a beautiful guitar, Bill.
I've never played a black walnut guitar--it would be cool to try one out sometime. Great work!

Bill, I really like the colors that the abalone exhibits, more colorful than usual, and really complements the rest of the instrument. (Which is also pretty nice, too.)

Bill, that is a lovely guitar. And I'm with you on Black Walnut, it is a wonderful timber on all counts.
