Thanks Onesix and Gary. It's the best to date and sounds very good. It took a long time with a few projects inbetween. Now i need to do something quick and easy.

Glad to see it finished.  Beautiful.  You should be proud.  I enjoyed watching it progress.

Thanks Monterey. A totem pole instrument would be awesome. You're onto something there Monterey...

Got to get my video figured out some day. I made one test, but didn't learn how with notes, etc. I got to start from scratch again. I'll work on that project someday.

THat is an amazing build!! I bet it sounds fantastic. Video soon I hope?

That's awesome, Dave, beautiful Cello! Seems to me they carve totem poles out of Wesern Red Cedar and they're plenty strong! Saw a 3 story one once at the museum in Vancouver

So far no cracks Peter. I've made several necks with Cedar with no trouble so far. I thought it may be too soft for the job, but not so. Also made an arch top Viola that is carved in Cedar. These are all made in the last year. Time will tell. Much of the boxes i've made lately are cedar. It is so light. Mark Lillo makes the most beautiful Western Red Cedar instruments. Top of the line! Thanks Timbre Land, George, Mark, Wes, Clock, Uncle, Smokey.... :^)

Wow , Dave!  Excellent instrument!  And I agree with Uncle John - your shady porch looks mighty inviting!
