Hello UJ a while ago you posted this picture from all your white owl build, now i found this vintage cigar tin from the Dutch White owl in a Tin, is this maybee a tin you like in your collection! i had in mind to make a 3 string out of it,the size is 9 inch long 4,5 inch wide & 2,5 inch deep!

Thanks for the nice comments! I need to post some neck photos...if I don’t here, I will send them to you on FB. 

Pandora online? I haven’t tried that. I used to listen to some blues stations on 365 a year or two ago. I love custom/fan made stations. I’ve actually wanted to start a local blues station on AM/FM, but just too much money needed to be involved and I don’t have it. 

Ill look into Pandora! Thank you for telling me about it.

Thanks for the kind words on the box!...I drew that Hosanna art and added it to the box myself, it was quite a bit of work envolved, i didn't think anyone would even notice!...I am glad you did!

Hi John. Thanks for the kind comment. I use a vox valvetronix ad50 vt xl amp. it sounds wonderful!!! For practice, I use a Chord amp, small and no fancy effects. Just reverb and a clean sound. 

Got a Nephew in New York who has a Chocolate Factory Li-Lac in greenwitch Village,  his stepfather use to do Holland house Cookies.

But it al because of my  Mother God bless Her Soul, looking at her doing her thing in the kitchen when i grew up !

Here you Go !

Thanks for your comments Uncle John, Shirley bought the plate from a Christmas market stall thinking it would be a good project,it's exactly as it came.

Many thanks, Uncle John - very pleased to receive your kind comments. The fingerboard is a bit of an unknown. I bought it as a softwood that seemed to be fairly heavy and solid, and I used it in the first version of the CBG about fourteen years ago. Since then it hasn't shown any signs of bending, so I've been lucky. The surface finish was produced by several coats of satin varnish.

Uncle John   I will send picture of cigar box stand soon.  Rich

Hi Uncle John   Here are the pictures of the stand. I wanted to make a stand that would be rustic looking.  I went to the woods nearby and was walking around looking for something that would work for the stand.  I wanted to use a three leg system but I wanted the wood to be kind of crooked and bent not straight.  I found a couple saplings about 3/4 inch in diameter and cut them and grouped them together until they would all meet at the top.  I took them back into my workshop and started to put it together.  I wanted all the pieces at the top where they come together to have one hole where all three of the sticks came through.    Now all these I had to fit   all three pieces together in the one hole and file them so that they would be at the right angle to the bottom plate.  It took a while but finally got it.  The pictures show the results.  Thanks, Rich

The one in front and a fjew in the back!

Birthday greetings Uncle  :D

Thank you Uncle, I took your advice! Your generosity knows no bounds!

O'Meowwwwwww^..^
