    Finally finished the french polish and am calling this one done. Wish I knew how to take better photos. I did not fill the grain on the mahogany top.

    Two fine-looking instruments there, Gary and Tom. I have only tried one bouzouki so far as I was asked if I'd ever built one! Here is a link to my Picasa pix of the instrument, which I enjoy playing and which a fellow bandmate plays even more!

    Beautiful instruments, Gary and John, and great presentations of your work. I love the mandolins and am intrigued with the other CBOMs, but there is something unusually beautiful about a full length Irish bouzouki.

    Great-looking instrument there, Gary, and I completely agree with your thoughts on finishing an instrument. Thanks for posting the video clip and I look forward to the next instalment.
