Sunburst finishing workshop in Knoxville, March 12

[j. condino]

This seemed like the best section to post this. The Knoxville area luthier's group will be hosting me for a sunburst finishing workshop on Sunday March 12 at the Woodcraft store classroom. They have a great group of fun people who have opened this one up to the general public and should be a lot of fun. You can contact the Woodcraft store for the details and I'll try to get a link to them later this week. This workshop will be similar to the workshop I gave in Tacoma, Washington a couple of years ago for the Guild of American Luthiers convention as featured on the cover and in a detailed article in American Lutherie magazine no. 125, spring 2016. Please contact the shop and not me direct as they are handling the logistics.

From the course description:
