Sweeping up around the computer….odds and ends

I have been way too busy at my .5 time day job… too busy to spend enough time on guitars, that’s for sure.  The quarter ends in a week or so.  I’m right in the middle of grading exams.  It’s a 2 day job.  But I took a break to put these audio recordings from April to some pictures I took in the winter.

Inlaying a rosette made by Micah

Micah made two roses.  He also joined a beautiful spruce top, before he returned to Portland.

I set aside the top and one rose, and decided to inlay his second string rose into a multi-colored cedar top.

Micah’s Rosettes

Micah finished his two rosettes! It is nice to see them done, mostly very well done.  It is also nice to have him in my workshop.  I also manage to get a bit of work done on the Hauser model.  Filling pores with epoxy.   The end-graft is a pretty peice of burl.

Rosettes … I put together a couple and so did Micah.  He seems to have caught on to my technique.   We both learned a bit.
