It was 99 F. in Arkansas today with a heat index of 107. Way too hot for June.

Wow, that guy is good. I loved that.

Ron

Woohoo!! Serge is back. Hello my friend, it is wonderful to see you post again. Are you still building?

Ron

I wear Earl Scruggs tee shirts.

Ron

I love bloodwood with dark wood like that.

Ron

That really is a nice build, Martin. Beautiful finish!!

The two cutaways I built last were made from Allied's opportunity grade EIR, also. A few worm holes, but that is character. I think they cost $20 a set. Wonderful value.

When opportunity knocks

Very funny and very true!! I love Dave Barry.

I'm sure it's a fine place for a beautiful, unaccompanied woman to stay. Just think about the fun you'll have in the shop, build something nice, and she'll be back home before you know it. Course, I've never been to Japan, but I'm sure it's a harmless name.

Ron

Geez, Sebastiaan, I can't think of a lower blow than that. My heart goes out to you, mate.

Ron

That IS an impressive stack of tops. I only have three, I think. I think I have pinus envy.

Ron

Dang, Lillian, what a lousy experience. I'm thinking of you and sure hope everything turns out ok.

Ron

Yeah, I can't wait to see the finished guitar. I really love the cross.

Ron

I was looking through my Lee Valley catalog tonight, and they have a really good assortment of veneers.

You sure nailed it on the third try, Rod. It looks extremely good. Are you using Celtic knots for the FB?

Nice shot. Makes me want to go back, too. I can see "Half Dome" in your photo. Back in '81 ( 19 81), I spent a whole day photographing in Yosemite. I spent two weeks out there in Carmel at an Ansel Adams workshop and came back through Yosemite. A two week block of my life that I would love to reliv...
