Not too much here. City council gave me permission to expand and use the shop as I please on Tuesday night... finally. Been working this out since March.

Here is today's madness. A new pickin' porch (at home)... and, free advertising for Lowe's.

Well here is some Pics of the Paduck Unit I have started , It has a cocobolo 1/4" strip all the way through the neck lenghtwise and will have a 1/8" cocobolo plate under the fret board So the Cocobolo will be glued in a T formation and there wont be any other stiffiners . Not sure , but gonna try it.

The Back , sides, neck are all Paduck and the top is spruce . I am contemplating Cocobolo Binding and Pick Guard as well .

I really like the Looks of The Paduck , however the dust is almost impossible to keep cleaned up.
