Hey guys. Here's some pics of my Dynalap I just finished. Be easy now, this is my first venture into the wood working world as well as the Lap Steel world also. Now I have to get back to my GeorgeBoards lessons

Thanks for all your in depth help I really mean this when I say I couldn't have done it without you. Now I'm on the lookout for some hawaiian backing tracks to practice to. I would love some nice gig quality stuff. Any ideas guys? |

I'm such a newbie at this, I really can't comment above it seems to be fine and clear. As I learn this instrument more, I'm sure my opinion will grow. |

Hey...looks familiar...
Ha!
Here's mine.
So far I've seen three orange-ish ones. (Mine is "China Red" according to the jar of stain I used).
I guess that color just looks best on these.
Nice Job!
These Dynalaps sound really great. (I really wish I would have bought two.) |

These simply made but fine sounding quitars will become even more prized by tone hounds in time, and become quite a collectible should Mark/anybody never restart the venture. |

No need to be sorry about anything, it looks great. Thats one of the cool things about Tru Oil, it can be what you want it to be.

If Mark does bring them back I'd imagine he will have to raise the price of them. Take the time / labor involved, add in the bill of materials, and its obvious Mark has been giving these away. Its no wonder he is spending his time on more fruitful endeavors.
