How about some new info?
I have asked a school friend of mine to help in writing a book. I am finally going to give it a go and want to take someone with me. Bev is a nurse and I think she will have good insight. We have yet to have our first working meeting and I will keep posted of our progress. No title yet and I will give the premise for the book later
I have started my first attempt at bringing an abused guitar back to life and I am having trouble with the art work. I need something part scary, eye catching and just says ROCK! I am not the artist I once was and am lost. I would really like to give a young artist a good start by being their first customer. I will pay for the art and will have it signed. This is all it takes to be able to claim yourself a professional artist. If you know of anyone, let me know, I would really like to see some work samples. The guitar body was made by Kaiwa from Japan in 1969. The shape is called a Flying Wedge. It was some what beat up, but I have filled the worst spots and have to put a paint finish on it. It is currently white awaiting artwork.
I have photos of the fiddle I have been working on for about two years now. No hurry to finish it. I want it to look good and I sure do not want to cover up the 150 year old workmanship. This fiddle was in good shape overall, just needed refinished and some parts. I work on this when I have no other big projects going on.
This is the guitar body after repair and primed for the first time. All in all in good shape. You can see the repairs. The neck is in good shape, just needs refinishing.
This is the fiddle I am working on. I ahve been working on it for about two years now. Not in any big hurry, I work on it when I have nothing pressing to work on. It is about 150 years old and in good shape, just missing some parts and needs a new finish. The workmanship is beautiful. No paint for this one.
