Thanks for your comments. Yes it is all cut by hand, must be getting better, I only snapped two piercing saw blades on the tailpiece as opposed to about ten on the sound hole

Thanks for the request :)

thanks bluesheart .

Bruce,  I look forward to your new works.  I have been working on mandos and ukes lately, but recently returned to the 3-stringer standard to build one for my cousin and it is very pretty, with clean lines.  I will post pictures of it after she receives it in New York.  It's supposed to be a surprise (what it looks like), so I don't want her stumbling onto any pics before then.  She plays bass, so I strung it uniquely.  More to come!  :)  I'm hoping to do more of the Steampunk work too, since the Steampunk twins have gone off to new homes. 

Bluesheart, the lack of a chapter on you and featuring photos of Aja, the Undertaker, Splinter Pig and other examples of your skill and design aesthetic makes David Sutton's book, "Cigar Box Guitars" incomplete.

Hi Bluesheart! Thanks for wishing me welcome to The Nation. I've finished two more gits since then, and I'm keeping on keeping on. I've tried to comment to your builds, but have failed to load it up or something. I'll try again.

The Best to you.

Bjorn

Here`s one i saw sometime back, saved the pic for reference.

"just where the sander wouldn't reach"

Ha!!!  You should have made up some big story about how you learned that heel detail from a CBG building Tibetan  monk during you travels east while trying to find yourself.  Who knows, I may have bought it ;)

Thanks for the friend request thing. I'm flattered and happy to oblige!
