Hi folks. It looks like I found home
. I am a Pro Portrait Photographer that eats, lives and breaths Acoustic Guitars. I have even started getting some work published in Guitar mags which thrills me to death. I have photo's in Acoustic Fingerstyle Mag and I hear some coming up in Acoustic Guitar Mag also. Martin has used some of my work.... fun fun
6 months ago I started aquiring tools and prepping a workspace to learn to build.
I figured a few restorations will teach me which end the neck should be attached and all.
I have this guy here. I have put about 50 hours into scraping off glue and Plaster (Yes Plaster), making a new brace, fixing 3 long cracks, new fingerboard, restored the dovetail, new tuners and now I am ready to learn French Polishing to wrap it up.
I bought this Walnut tree last Sunday to get my wood supply going. By the time this stuff hits 6%-8% humidity I hope to know what I am doing. Ithink when I get it cut down to back and Side wood I will have enough for me and to trade.
I just wanted to say hi and thanks for the cool site
