Hi troops...
I'm here and look at the Forum most days. I'll chime in when I can add anything positive to the discussions.
Bruce just sent me a very nice email today, wishing me well with the health issues.
Short story...having been out of the shop all but a day a week over the past several months has helped. No respiratory problems, even during flu season...knock on Brazilian rosewood!
I'm transitioning into some other activities and will do the luthiery on a hobby basis...then post any instruments I build "For sale" on the web. If they don't sell, I may give them away to some deserving folks. Got a couple of worthy church Praise and Worship ministers that could use good instruments, so some may go there.
Once I assess my wood stash...probably enough for a couple hundred years at the new build rate...I may offer some up here for you folks to consider. If anyone has any particular needs, let me know and I'll peruse the wood pile.    And I still have redwood tops available. Will be getting some new sets processed from billets in the next few weeks, if anyone is interested.
Thanks again for all your thoughts and good wishes. I DO appreciate them!

Hank

They're gonna get some mighty fine instruments! Glad to see you've still got your hand in the cookie jar, Hank!
