Dang--this one looks exceptional as well!

Hey Kevin ... thanks so much for following this one. What a great bunch of folks we have here on the forum!

Thank you, David, for being alive on Earth and doing what you do.

Wow ... SUCH a nice comment Steve ... thanks so much. I'm afraid it's the other way around though ... I'm looking to you for inspiration!

Thanks Jim ... I'm a lucky guy to be able to work with these great woods!

Well ... I think that's the last photo I'll post. Stay tuned tomorrow, as I'll be posting my usual audio/video file.

Hey ... I just realized if you left click on some of the photos, they revert to full size (only slightly larger, buy hey!).

Didn't you forget a part?

Absolutely gorgeous! Will you be sharing a sound sample?

I'm just as tongue tied and inarticulate as ever in this very short, veeeerry informal video about the French Polishing process on this guitar. This is obviously not an in depth how-to video, just a little peek into this part of the process. It also seems to document my re-entry into the world of face foliage!

This is a fantastic little video Dave. It's vintage Dave Wren Productions. I was always learn stuff from you. I was lucky to see this guitar in progress while visiting your shop. It's absolutely gorgeous.

Hey Linda ... thanks so much ... means a lot coming from you!

Beautiful guitar, and vey unique appointments. Looking forward to the sound samples.

Well ... here's the audio file ... in my inimitable jazz-comedy stylings (Harpo plays Herbie?). My standard disclaimer applies i.e. these audio file / slide shows are fun but sometimes not as helpful as you'd think as far as appraising the tone and or response of the instrument (in my opinion). I'm going to have to learn a new fingerstyle piece with lots of open ringing strings (these chord melody jazz standards don't give a good workout to a flattop). I get a kick out of doing these little videos though!








Thanks so much to everyone who have hung in on this thread till the end ... you guys are great!
