Likely will call soon, as I need a bit of info :wink:

I had the pleasure of meeting both Micheal and Allen McFarlen over Easter. I also saw a very interesting purfling / soundhole inlay prototype. Things to come.

Good article, and it is indeed a great place to live and work. I'm really lucky to be mates with Micheal and spend time down there each year.

Hmmm..... New Rosette cutter......I think I might have one of those out on my workbench that's going to get used this weekend. :mrgreen:

Shit Allen ,I was hoping to get some dancing girls for the grand unveiling.Maybe you better take some shots of it in use.Don't worry about audio on the track as you won't be able to hear it anyway.
Cheers from Micheal.
