I would love that work of art.
I think Lone Star uses a state of Texas badge on the front left. |

That piece of art is a STAR pedal steel ~ also made in Texas, but it is a different manufacturer than Lone Star. |

It is beautiful. Anyone know how to contact Star? Can't seem to find anything on 'em anywhere. I think the photos were from one of the shows a while ago. Thanks..

I believe Mark Giles builds cabinets for Carter and maybe a few others.

Thanks to Jim Flynn and the rest of you for the kind words. Here are a couple of more art peices I just finished for Star Steels. With any luck, they may have them ready for St. Louis. Go by their booth at Scotty's and check them out.

I wondered why sometimes I have to scroll to read the text- so- if someone posts a large picture, it affects how everyone views the page, eh? |
