That will make it even harder to be patient,. I better read Herman Hesse's Siddhartha again to remind me of the lessons learnt so many years ago

I managed to wrangle a uke set out of this amazing master madagascan rosewood set. This set is taken already to a lucky lady.

I was looking through the posts here last night for an over an hour. The word Amazing does not come close in describing the level of craftsmanship I viewed while pouring over the pages. And it is very inspiring to see the excellent manner and respect that is used towards one another regarding encouragement, compliments, modesty and advice. I' m glad to be a part of this community and hope to contribute something useful to the group. All the best. Vince

I agree with Vince. The quality and inspiration in the works we see is matched only by the amazing willingness by highest level pros to share knowledge and experience. With a few keyword searches here we get good info and plenty of mind opening angles as well.
I don't have a shed but am working on the yellow cedar one piece neck + sides for the next sliced pineapple experiment.

Looking through the side sound port
Cocobolo with ebony binding. This is how I cover up the bolts on the headblock.
End graft inlay is BRW and black mop with blue, white and black purfling and one engraved line.

I'm always delighted to see your work Beau - I don't have the eyesight for that fine mitering you do. I've said it before and I'll say it again - perfect miters are the true test of craftsmanship when it comes to cabinetry style skills. Truly wonderful to see.

Some details of a guitar I thought woodworkers would like to see.
This is my new heel (with convex and concave curves) which I will offer on ukes instead of the usual arrow head shape.
Wood is BRW with ebony binding. Back and end graft inlays are BRW fading from orange to green.

Geez Beau, give us a break. The Miitering Master strikes again... Like the idea of the asymmetric neck heal. More comfortable for the right handed player. Cool idea.

My table at Memphis guitar show- This uke was a loved and wanted by many!-
Steve Grimmes- I played his only uke and it was really nice, just like the man himself
Jay and Corrie Lichty- Lovely people whom we hope to catch up with again one day.
Craig Lavin- Inlay artist from Florida- Great funny guy with very talented inlays.
