Perfect. I look forward to meeting both of you.
Mike Shults is in Newport and recently got a kuromaku set and a Naniwa 12k. Might shake him loose too.
When you’re not a noob? Send your edges to Slash, Bill, Alex, Seraphim, and when they tell you that you’re good, you probably are.
Wish you guys were closer. Sounds like s great breakfast being worked up.I have a friend in Newport who sources red spruce and is a guitar builder....world renowned vintage Martin source and repair. One of my fiddles has a top from a tree that fell in 1995 near Alum Cave, over 400 years old. He was able to get it when Blalock removed it from the park boundary. He met Steve in Cataloochee.
Interesting music connections. I’m not a musician myself, but we have a fine luthier over in Maryville, Lynn Dudenbostel. I know his brother Don well from a photography hobby, Don is a world-class fine art and commercial photographer. We went by Lynn’s one time a few years ago and his shop is impressive to say the least. Both gentlemen are immensely talented. Don said that Lynn had something like a 5-year waiting list!

What are the best ways to cut balsa into the recommended 12" lengths? I don't own any power cutting tools.
