Thanks......I found Paint on my computer and fooled around with it a little.

And I have done t shirt transfers.  That sounds real interesting.

What I have been doing with the limited graphic stuff I do is to use Avery shipping labels.  And print on them.  They have a peel off back and adhesive.  They work pretty well and come in "transparent" which isn't, and opaque white.   That is how I did my Faux Cigar Label pictured on this forum.

As much as I like the artwork people do I have to admit less is more for me in guitars and songs. I could give a rats ass how cool it look I'm after sound having said that I do appreciate what people do wall hangers and such. This site is 90% build 9% talking about building and 1% playing and that needs to change. My Swamp Witch is probably the most boring one ever but it can sound like a ton of Chaos..................

my last build nothing fancy until you play it.

It looks reallly good to me.  Lots of nice detail like the tapered neck and the uke style bridge.  I bet it sounds fine.

Thanks.  The boxes are 9"x11.5"x3.5".  I made the bridges out of Walnut.  Pretty good sound and volume.  I don't have a table saw, so I invented a router jig to cut the finger joints.

I've only been building since Feb, so just learning the trade.
