Brian, Congrats on your first box call! I see snakeboots drinking a cokecola.   That's a surprise.......not!  Keep it up, I see a booth at Nashville next for U.

Popcorn, I have seen that somewhere before.......hmmmmmm. Is that the offical state drink of New York??????

got to tell on myself here...
Brian started the box last weekend......he had it to trhe point of gluing up the base yesterday morn, when the ole idiot was going to show him how the glue up the base.....mind ya, Brian had done just fine on his own up to this point......
Tghis was some really wormy chestnut he had selected from my stash.....had the glue and was squeezing the body into the mortised base.....and I heard a SNAP........I didnt even have to look---heard it a few times before........I had broked the right soundboard *cry* *aah* *fall*
Ole Brian shook if off better than I did,,,,,,,
He done a good job and shes really singing the tune
Thanks for the kind words ...there is nothing like passing on the illness to someone  ;D.
Brain is going to finish tune her today and we will get some finished pics-----

You never have to worry about the sides cracking they can be fixed and they sound great,  this side gives a great old gobbler sound.
