It's getting cold here in rural New England, witnessed by the field jackets stuffing the coat rack just inside the workshop door. Inside, it's warm and a pleasant humidity—perfect for guitar building. Just the same, if Tom feels a little chill, he can cover up with a nice quilt like this one. Now doesn't that warm your heart?
If this wood looks familiar, it's because the maple top is from a nice batch from the same tree that yielded the one Tom made a few weeks back. If you are the new owner of this guitar now you know that there's a fraternal twin sister out there someplace. Will they ever meet?
Wow, that is beautiful wood. I also harvest my own wood for my instruments. It's western maple though, is yours eastern hardrock? Mine is at http://www.bunker-guitars.com/articles/tone-woods.html I harvest spalt and all sorts of other woods. Your instruments are beautiful.

Wow! Dave Bunker reads Jol's blog! You really never know who you're gonna meet here. Dave, I first saw the bunkers back in the day... denim covered spaceship designs from weirdsville. Good to see you're still surviving.
