I'm a self-educated, Award Winning Primitive Folk Artisan that studies, repairs, and builds Traditional & Non-traditional string instruments.
I'm familiar with folk instruments from around the World. I'm not just another 6 string guitar guy, I also build banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, citterns, bouzoukis, balalaikas, violins, dulcimers, psaltries, koras, bandolas, tres cubano, cuatros, tiples, and much more. Just show me a picture and I can build it. No blueprints needed.
I also hand wind pickups, do mod boards, and custom wiring.
My hand rubbed finishes are Old school traditional shellac varnish, in both brushed & French polish, and polyurethane.
I use a lot of recovered & re-purposed wood in my builds, and my preferred Tone wood is Florida Bald Cypress. I have a stock of 100+ year old naturally seasoned recovered cypress barn wood.
