Below is a list of the entire set. Some descriptions are still incomplete, but as they are finalised I am making them available through Australian Luthiers Supplies.

Hi, Everyone! I know I have been gone for a while, lots of things have happened since I last posted!
I re-topped a Lacôte style guitar I made about ten years ago, it now has an European spruce top and the proper mustache style bridge with pins! Back and sides are California laurel, 595mm string length. I need to French polish it and it is an astounding little guitar with a beautiful voice. I will post my asking price when it is finished!…

Most of the stories were completed about ten years ago, and have seen literary magazine publication. Some of the characters were actual persons, some inventions of mine. In either case, the characters, and the situations that engage them in the stories are mainly…

Here is a recent recording I did of Legnani Caprice #9
This is a work in progress as I hear many areas where there could be improvement.
After I improve this one, I really want to start on Caprice 10, which reminds me of something Mozart would have written.

I'm almost done with the "Ovahuela" so it's time to update this blog. This was a fun project. The nice thing about it was the freedom rebuilding an old klunker gives you. I was free to experiment and try things I normally wouldn't if I were building a "period" instrument from scratch.
A little background
I bought an old 1970's Ovation Applause from my sister for $50 about ten years or more ago. It was a 6 string (steel), approximately an "OM" shape. It had a…
