Thanks Jerry! Yep, I got a slug of these horns and have had the idea to use them for tail pieces but just now used em'

Thanks Gary! The "King" eh? Much appreciated :-)

Thanks Gary! That's cool on the cobbler buddy!

Looks great and I will echo Gary on admiring the crescent moon biscuit.

Love how you did the 'biscuit bridge'!  And I need to get an old metal shoe horn to make a 3-string build for a cobbler friend.  He makes and repairs custom boots in the Stockyard City part of OKC.  He's had a diddley bow and amp now for about a year - should be ready for a cool upgrade!
