Thank you. I'll let you know how the one turns out for my Buckskinner friend. Gonna hang some totems and authentic trade-beads off it, maybe a sachem bag, and use real bone for nut and bridge. I shall no longer fear taking tin-snips to a perfectly good coffee can.
I think I noticed you're from Hutchinson. We've been to Hutchinson and visited the Space Museum. It was neat the way they put a sign up on the balcony warning to not touch the dashboard out of the Apollo, but hung it close enough every kid could get to it. From CBG rezos to moon buggies, ya got it all. Oh, if there's celebrations or festivals to play in town, Wichita Sam is looking for gigs.

Thanks for the comment! I actually can't say how loud it is yet. I'm shaping a neck to put on now. It's gonna be attached with dowels I think but it's still on the block. I'll let you know how she is when she's done (hopefully this week). Good luck on your builds man! They look great so far
Best wishes,

I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee
