That paint job was not my Idea
A young men in 10th grade about ten years ago did it

Here is the art work I got my Idea from
It was a friends son
I must tell the truth
Yes I cut the limb up
But the man where the limb fell wanted to make the guitar
I did not think the wood was seasoned enough but he wanted to make one
I gave hin a print I had
he did not make the neck wide enough for the string spacing
I had to add strips
and epoxy the voids
It had to be painted
I told him I wanted to make a hollow body
wait to you see this monster

You done good, Jim.
I love to see raw chunks of trees taken in hand, and metamorphosed into wonderful pieces of art. |
