Karen, the guitar is looking great! Is the acoustic maple sides and back? I have been following your progress and especially love your notes from "Boyland".
Great work!

well I had to cut the grass yesterday, and the cherry trees and pear trees are almost done blooming. I guess that doesnt help you much tho :-)
the acoustic is looking great!
Hey.... thanks Stephanie for your support and encouragement... as always! Yes, the acoustic is maple back and sides. Mine will have some figure in it. Not as flamey as some of the blanks handed out, but definitely enough to be interesting.
And bobw -- curse you and your reminders of springtime!! *(-:
We're seeing robins here, and we've had a couple of days over 50 degrees. I'm told it'll happen here eventually!
It just snowed 12 inches here in Alaska. April 9 and we have a chance of snow on Monday as well. Luckily it will get up into the mid-30's again here shortly. Just think, you could be here. :)
