"Thanks Dianne, it was my first attempt at building a CBG so I put some thought into it's design. I was surprised that it came out as well as it did. No # 2 is in the works but I haven't had much free time to devote to finishing it, maybe…"

i now feel assaulted by the number of needless e-mails i've gotten from CBN in spite of my clicking 'no e-mails from CBN'....and quite a few other buttons.
it is VERY likely i will cease being a member within this day.
thank you for your kind welcome...zan.

There sure is alot of work into the neck. I need to fine tune the shape of the neck, drill the holes in the headstock, and tailpiece, stain the fingerboard, glue the neck and fingerboard together, and etc.. See, I still have a ways to go. I am like a turtle, very slow.

nice looking builds, btw... z.

Best to you and yours,

Lou.

'Shara Wormwood' in Limerick is our Vet, has been since we lived here.

Yeah, I get the WILD beard thing a lot, especially in the winter when I just let it go long, call it my "Winter Coat" don't you know, helps keep my delicate skin protected from the harsh Maine elements. LOL !

I don't get over to Limmington much, just pass through sometimes on the way up to Whindam if going the back way to get away from Rt-25, use to stop at "Two Trails" for a coffee but it's changed and I don't much care for the way it is now.

Well, if you spot me in a teal 2000 Dodge Dakota Sport don't hesitate to holler.
