Very thankful for a grand vacation, and for the business of all my clients who have supported, and continue to support me after ten plus years.
Blessings all.
Back in the saddle again!

- Getting caught up on repairs? Well, not really, but I am moving forward. The final phase of re-joining a split top on this LaPlant mandolin is beginning this evening. It’s always a pleasure to work through the f-holes, exclusively. After almost 20 years doing this work I’ve developed enough tricks to make the hard jobs easy.
- Tele on the bench tonight.
- Been brewing up an old fashioned wood ebonizer for the past month. Looking forward to decanting the batch and testing on different wood species to witness the varied results.
- Working on a fantastic #gibson #countrywesternmodel from the 50’s. This one had a lifting bridge, under which I discovered a pool of hardened epoxy that must have been used in a repair at some point during the last 50 years. It’s been a good project cleaning it up, and it’s got the foulest aroma. Hoping to have the bridge reglued before bed. @thegreatbritishbakingshow in the background making the evening quite enjoyable.
- Wiring up a Strat with some gorgeous @lollarpickups this afternoon.

By that smile on your face Mike you are happy to be out of winters doldrums and in a warmer environment. Let me guess….Four Corners area?
Well, close. I was visiting Sedona, AZ. A delight. However, I never came close to tiring of winter this year. Born with the North in my veins.
