Here is a picture of #008. Josh Pinkham got #005 and his dad Jeff ordered another and they are pleased with it. Josh said it is "insanely awesome".
It makes the builder happy!

Tope I am not going to do anymore flowerpots. I don't want the big "G" to come after me. Thanks to everyone for the compliments! I made this one like Josh's and I am real happy with how it turned out. I do the best I can and GOD sure has blessed! About the finish I give credit to my good friend Elmer Edwards of Lexington, NC. Elmer is a wonderful luthier and a gentlemen. He showed me how to do a real nice sunburst. I couldn't have done it without him.
Scotti once you start building there is no turning back. I too have learned so much from all on the board. There are many gifted and knowledgeable people here. I am almost finished with #009 and I am keeping it for myself. I am in school fulltime and so I have to put the building on hold till then.
