I can totally see this guy in a vintage establishment! VERY well executed. You going to be at the next ITMP?
S skootiki Member fallbrook,ca Joined: Oct 04, 2009 Posts: 584	S skootiki Posted posted on Tue, Jun 4, 2013 6:00 PM Thanks McTiKi, Amate, Big T and Polynesiac. I didn't like the guitar because it had to follow the curve of the log ( I did one that was playing the uke, but it was carved from a larger diameter log so I could carve deeper and keep the uke flat) so...I thought "what the heck" and removed the guitar then grabbed a big drill bit and hoped for the best. Big T, that modern-ish style is a fun carve....I've done a few and they're a popular style. Polynesiac, that means a lot that he could fit into an old-skool TiKi establishment, thanks! and I will be at the next ITMP this Saturday. stop by and say hi if you're there.
