I agree wholeheartedly Alan! And of course we creatively hide our mistakes or even turn them into features.

The best thing about making mistakes Doug, is you learn from them! :-)

It seems like most instruments I build are an experiment of some sort. It’s not always possible to predict what will work and how well. I appreciate you reporting one that didn’t go as planned. I can certainly identify with you Alan!!! I really do like Uncle Crow style builds; they are very underrated. My best sounding acoustic builds have been Uncle Crow. To most people they just don’t look right, and that’s unfortunate; they play great.

"Thanks for the Empathy UJ, BQ &AD,  if I were to do another, and I probably will do some time, I might go for an Uncle Crow design of some sort :-)

I tried this years ago myself, with the same results? Most likely there was a crack there before you even started. Bamboo is just like wood, it cracks when drying in the sun or exposed to high heat?
