I built this one in February and March with my limited shop time while I was recovering from my ankle surgery. I prepped the parts before the surgery so I could sit down and just do the hand work. I’ve been playing this one for lots of our online music events during quarantine, but it is time for it to find its real home. It’s on its way to a customer in Montana. The old growth fir neck and top are salvaged from floor joists. The walnut back and sides and pistachio fretboard are from California orchards. It is an all west coast instrument with a cheery voice and easy playability.
