The Call: Fret Job — Cheryl
Dennis is making excellent progress on Henry’s handmade guitar. Today, he installed the frets.
The Response: Handmade Handmaid — Jessica
That’s a really bad pun for such a lovely lady and I am truly sorry. I started out taking a picture of a tatted lace doily that I made in high school and then tried a piece of pottery from my oldest son’s 2nd grade class. Nothing was really working out all that great when, as I was walking out of the room, my eye was immediately drawn to the evening sunlight and the fabulous rim lighting on my statue of the Blessed Virgin. “Well, she is the ‘handmaid’ of the Lord,” I thought.
I’m so impressed! That wood looks beautiful too — rosewood?
I’ll let you get away with the pun, Jessica. That shot was worth it. It’s gorgeous!
Thanks Jessica,
Yes, rosewood fretboard on a maple neck and maple bodied flying V. We’re probably 3-4 hours of work from making it playable.
