Yes, absolutely gorgeous. The select of woods really sets it off. I checked out your blog...you definitely got this gourd thing going on. Never saw that body - neck - headstock single gourd construction. Thanks for sharing. Good stuff. Enjoy, Keni Lee

Thanks folks. I too have never seen anyone use the gourd neck for the actual neck. It makes sense because the shape is absolutely perfect for your hand. The cool thing is they are only gonna get better from here. Number three is in the works and I have some great subtle ideas to make it great. I will share as many build pics as I can to share whatever I learn with everybody. This is payment for giving me such a great place to showcase my work. Thank you all.... Mike g

Your build is fantastic! I love to build with gourds, too.
It's impressive that you are able to use the hollow neck of the gourd for the neck.
Wonderful details and craftsmanship.
Awesome job, good luck with the art show!

That is so awesome!  Now you'll have me looking for straight gourds to make into instruments!  :-)
