About Me.
I live near Lansing Michigan, married to my beautiful wife Lila 33years, 2 grown kids, 4 grandchildren, 3 boys and a girl. A little doggie named Ki-Ki. We like to camp, fishing, travel, spoiling grandkids. I've made 3 Dulcimers and didn't know how to play an instrument. Started to learn how to play my Dulcimer this year, joined a club and that has really help in learning.

Since that was my first batch, I learned alot from them. The next batch will have thicker handles and thicker tips. I try and make the tips alittle thicker than a pencil. I have started some really cool necklace charms, the first one is in the shape of an hour glass dulci and has a rosewood fret board. It`s got alot of ingraved detail and it`s a solid bone noter, The peghead is the noter tip. I drilled a hole through the body so a cord can be put through and used as a necklace noter charm. Someone would have to look twice to see that it`s a noter. Soon will have pic`s up with 2 or 3 of them.

A few are necklace charms that look like hour-glass shaped bone noters, so one will have it with them all the time and it will be a true bone noter. Drop by my page and leave a comment on your thoughts on my noter creations.

At 4:59pm on November 13, 2009, Lori R Wimberley said…: Bill, I am so thankful for your order. I believe you will treasure the special boxes you got. I can't wait for you to see them...and hope to send you some nice surprises, if packing space allows. (I can manipulate that packing space, can't I?)

Thanks again.

I can't find anything else similar in size to what you want. Everything is an inch or two too short or too long---one way or the other. So, unless I find something else in particular , all I can offer is the Arturo Fuentes I will send a picture of soon. (under Arturo Fuentes)

I am at work at the present time and won't get off until 9 pm or so. But I will check the website first and then get the measuring stick out to see what I can find in the size you want.

Thanks
