    I get distressed looking at photos of Laura's work.
    That one's so so pretty and graceful.

    She's got the finish technique down now I'd say! I really love the finger rest too--that a in-house design?

    Ken - you sure done taught her well! Beautiful. Kind of an interesting inlay in the headstock too! Is that a variation on a flowerpot? Are you still using you 100-year old red spruce for the tops?
    Great job Laura!
