I'm pretty sure that Stephen Boone is either Santa or one of the jolly fellow's elves. I know for sure that I have a fantastic wife. Look what I found under my tree this morning!

Anyone else find a nice surprise this morning?

My wife bought me two 1x8 x 6 foot Mesquite planks, a piece of Texas Ebony, a quilted Maple billet, a curly Maple billet, a curly Redwood billet, and a giant bottle of Titebond I.
Man, she even got the right type of glue!
Not bad considering today is her birthday.

Stuart,
Now all you need is a child to show you how easy it is to use.
(the Boss thing, not the slippers)
My daughter laughs at me for not knowing how to "text" whatever that means.
I've been following your website and FB postings - very exciting things going on!

My wife also had a couple of Stephen Boone planes under the tree for me. She also had a Hock spokeshave kit for me. Some great gifts.

I got this nifty "ToolVault" 20 gauge welded steel tool box Lime green.
It houses everything that was stacked/laying around and being generally in the way. I cleaned up and reorganized the shop too.

Nice! I could use something like that. I never have enough room no matter how many tool chest I buy.

I actually traded two ibanez Musicians (a bass and a guitar) plus a neckthrough I made YEARS ago for it.
It was brand new, just unpacked and put together.
I was looking at a Kobalt from Lowe's, so I looked on Craigslist.
For being the same price as a Kobalt, this thing is UNBELIEVEABLE.
It's comparable to the really expensive ten grand or more toolboxes I've looked at closely in some auto shops.

Nah...I'm all over it. It's more intuitive than I though it'd be.

Thanks but I'm feeling lazy about getting the website together. All good things in time I guess.

You all have a nice holiday season.

Merry Chrinstmas!

I understand that I too got a Fuji, though UPS hasn't found me yet. I also got an old Bailey No. 5 needing a touch of TLC.

I received a phone call on the 24th from an 89 year old man that builds dulcimers .
He called and thanked me for the wood that I have been sending his way . He doesn't get much luthier quality wood where he is at , but has quite a woodshop at his disposal .
I ain't done yet . I have some eastern red cedar here that is not of sufficient size for guitars , but it sure should work for dulcimers .
He , most recently , completed one with some of my ambrosia maple and just could not stop talking about it .
He and his wife have been together for 68 years and when he was both thanking me for wood and at the same time complaining that I was making work for him at the farm show this year in October , his wife quickly added that he has plenty of time .
They sure are a pair .
Made my day .

Brian Galloup's Dynamic Voicing class? Got just a taste at ASIA, but seemed really interesting.
