laughing6-hehe

I was able to get pictures thanks to Brett Dean . Several of these are from his Camera , a few off my own and also a couple taken from kens earlier post.

If a person hasnt had the chance to get to Hibdon Hardwood you are missing out . Jerry has a huge selection to choose from . I dont think anyone made it out without something in hand.

The Following group of shots are from several members who brought work to be shown .

If I miss the Getting the right names with these let me know and I will fix the mistake . I want everyone to get the proper recognition from there efforts. However my memory is not so good anymore .


The first couple are from my friends Don Ile and his wife Ruth. Ken posted a bit of information on this earlier.

He went from A Mandolin to a Harp. No Middle of the road for this guy ! laughing6-hehe


The next couple are from Brian Bear . The first ever wood top Banjo that I have ever seen . Excellent sound , just very quiet compaired to the standard Banjo. He said that he wanted to learn Banjo and his wife wanted piece and quiet so he made this to make both happy .

Notice the end block is removable to access the neck bolt and to string the instrument . A very nice setup and idea .

The next group of shots are Of Dennis K's Work . He was kind enough to show a demonstration of how he does his hand inlay on a top .

It was quite interesting for those of us who have never attempted it .

Thanks for the effort Dennis .

As you can see Jerry Provided us an Excellent Location to have the gathering . Tey say the Camera adds 10lbs , However I think it may have had somthing to do with the food Jerry Provided .

A couple Shots of Hibdon Hardwood . 1st is a stack of 2nds that I went through . I found alot in there that was quite good for a small guitar etc" because the "blemish" would fall outside the paramaters of the Outline I needed .

Thanks Darryl. Thanks for posting these Jim. I believe the guitar with the eagle inlay on the headstock is Larry Ayers.

Okay, so I am too dumb to figure out how to attach more than one photo at a time (any tips for future reference?).

I'm sorry I can't remember the builder's name but the binding/purfling on this armrest and belly cut were outstanding!
