Sam,

That looks great

How does it sound? You need to do a separate post

Todd,

They look nice. I'd love to see a dreadnought in a bikini

My vote goes to Sam so far. Todd and Lance show their work all the time (nice, BTW bros, yadda, yadda)

But Sam's work is very new and exciting...and I love the photo composition and landscapes as well. She's obviously a humble over-achiever! Sam...you've been denying us for far too long...we need to see more of your work. Dave is right (as always)...we need a separate Sam post and pics of your work.

PS...She's also very easy on the eyes! A welcome departure from the usual scruffy members on this forum!

It's way too cold to go outside taking pictures. Winter solstice here soon. The days are so short I only get to see what the house looks like on weekends.

That's some pretty country side you've got there Sam.

Wow, thanks everyone...I'll post a sound clip as soon as I have composed a tune on the thing.

I have to especially thank Dave White for his generous advice and Martin Edwards yet again for his precious and incredibly valuable encouragement.

As to the photographs, it's just me, a Fuji Finefix 5.5 and a tripod taking a quick half hour in the countryside surrounding my home after work. It's like heaven up here, and it gets better believe it or not as you hit the Welsh border...

Paul, that 13 fretter is absolutely stunning, especially in it's surroundings.

Lance, the LS Indian jumbo guitar is beautiful and tastefully done. Very Lowdenesque, if you don't mind me saying.

Well, I've been away from building for a little while as my wife and I have moved from an apartment complex in the city (Ann Arbor) to a house in the country (Lakeland). The house is on Zukey Lake and is very close to the legenday Zukey Lake Tavern!

Here is a shot of my 0-16 basking in the sun:
