Welcome to my website and my
passion. I craft finely made

guitar using domestic and exotic
woods. Plus, an instrument here
and there.
My most popular item is the

scrolls for a classy F5 look. Need I say
more? Most are 5/8" (or more) thick
with routed edges. Felt is placed where
the mandolin comes in contact and
Velcro closures to keep it in place. All

Who wants to spend hundred's or
even thousand's of dollars for an
guitar or mandolin and have a $2
plastic TRC?
I make several from Ebony, Maple,
Rosewood, ect. Many I make for
customers are inlaid. Simple pre-cut
inlays are the least expensive and
have the quickest turnaround. Custom
jobs will obviously cost more and can
take longer to complete.
