    Thanks for the comments :-) Im pretty pleased with it so far... did a bit more last night.

    Will...  i think i lost my nerve a bit so didnt go too deep... this is a commission so didn't want to risk ballsing it up. Just started designing another, a little bit more complex and detailed... this one isn't commissioned so i can let rip.

    Hey Bob i'd love t do a Kentucky rifle stock (something else that's inspired me) but not confident enough yet to start digging into someone else' timber :-)

    Fantastic, that will look super when you are done. How deep are you going to go with it?

    If that's the beginning what on earth are you going to come up with next. Fantastic work and looking forward to see how the entire instrument works out. Very very impressive.
