"Haha, I'm usually guilty of the opposite. TMI like "this is a piece of walnut from a 100 yr old tree that blew down in a storm. A local sawyer cut it for me into 1" thick boards which I then planed down to...... and so on"

I don't know if it was lost in the internet or I am just blind, but I am indeed, even now still looking for a good cigar box fiddle & if you still make them, I'm very interested. Can you contact me by my e-mail, cirkus7866@aol.com to make sure we get in touch? I apologize, but hope to make contact, even at this late date! Thanks!
