Finished work on violin #1. It turned out nice.
Someday, this will be my first violin.
Late photos of the last guitar I built last year. Bolivian rosewood with a spruce top and mahogany neck.
Played 20 times

I received a request to post an audio clip of one of my guitars. Since I have an agreement with the Internet to not post any of my poor guitar playing, here’s a clip by my friend Joey. He is playing my #02 hand-made guitars. This one has a mahogany back and sides, with an englemann spruce top. The audio was recorded on the first take with the built-in microphone on a laptop. Enjoy
Finished the terz guitar today. It’s my best guitar yet.
Finished construction on #07. Fit, finish and assembly are next.
Finished the body of the terz guitar this weekend. With any luck, I’ll get the whole thing assembled next weekend.
Just finished carving the top braces for #07.
Mike DaSilva (www.ukemaker.com) puts the finishing touches on new concert uke. He makes some of the finest ukuleles on the planet. I had a chance to meet him in his shop this week. He was very gracious and let me check out some of his work.
#07 is starting to show some progress — the neck, top and bridge are mostly done. The back and sides are next.
