    The more I see your fiddle Bruce the more I like it. Like a cubist butterfly.

    Thanks , Maddog.  I've seen a lot of your nice builds on this site.

    Nice build Bruce!

    Not cheating at all, resourcing is the proper word I think. :-)

    Like the way you shaped the f-holes, Bruce.

    Nothing wrong using parts from other sources. I get a lot of parts from Gitty and China off ebay.
