This beautiful instrument was a nice challenge for me. The customer sent me photos of their favorite beach in Florida, which has a cross on a hill as a landmark. It was fun to pick pistachio and goat skin that wasn’t a literal picture of the beach, but served as the right vibe to invoke it. I inlaid a small ebony cross at the 15th fret to finish it off. The White Oak is from wine barrels I get from my neighbors, Hiyu Wine Farm. It’s French in origin and is beautiful quartersawn material. The Pistachio is harvested from California orchards.
