Bro just 2 let u know I was laughing the the phrase "oop north" just incase u read it wrong. By the way my neck is coming ok it's not as easy as has u made it look in the video tho I tell ya. :) it took u 20 mins it's gonna take me 20 days lol
Hey Richey, Thanks for the reply and concern. Please dismiss the crudeness of the videography (or lack thereof) from me and my camera phone, but this video best explains everything... https://youtu.be/GuxwrfyG_NE
Hi there Richey! got a new tune out that incorparates all the new homemade builds ,jawharps,oakwood spoons ,3string UJ build ,harmonica and vocals, its a Cajun Traditional its maybee not your cup of thea, but you can have a lissen what a fjew simplistic home/made instruments can make a band , Greeeetssszz A.D.
Toes are all in tact.As I said before that Lyre like shape just seems so logical for three strings,though my later ones seem to be getting longer and skinnier.
The standard of that build has made me wonder about your background,using craft skills in some away for your living ?
Thanks again Richey,sort of have a hankering to do a solid myself,guess what shape?As for the headstock design,there ain't no patent and I'm sure somebody somewhere must have done it before,it just seems a logical shape for a three string
