First finished turn from green wood. Rough turned eight months ago, from a pear tree where my parents live. Final turn earlier this summer. I still need a ton of practice, but it looks good in a photo.

Rorschach test. Go!

Cutting up the last of the logs for bowl blanks--and wondering if a combination showroom and workshop is the best idea...

Fraternal I'm guessing, though they haven't gotten the test done. 👭 . . . . . #ukulele #canjo #banjo #coffeetin #candytin #coffee #salvage #repurpose #reuse #cigarboxguitar #guitar #handmadeinstrument #musicalinstrument #maker #oldtimemusic #vsco #vscogram #vscocam

Brand new Cremo cigar box uke.

Amish tin banjo! Built this one a while ago but never put it on the website. Finally making an appearance now. 💻 www.greatplainshandmade.com

On a sunnier morning than this one.

Getting close with this batch.

Wall, waiting for some new additions.

And back to the instruments. Full speed ahead on the latest batch--including finally finishing up some I started months ago.
