Re: Extreme makeover

This is great! Are you changing the inlays on the sg from dots to traps?

Very nice binding work. Very impressive.

Re: Extreme makeover

I liked it a lot, it was small and peaceful, just like I like it! I'm not much of a party animal, so that it was silent and that the only other people around were old timers didn't really bother me, haha. We'll hopefully go back there next summer though, so I'll get to see summertime as well.

Sorry for the off-topic, haha.

I think you stopped being a "Hobby Luthier" long ago. Your work is very professional. Considering the hand tools you are using for these jobs, it's simply amazing. True old world European craftsmanship lives.
