I'm afraid I won't be around here for a while, last night my mother was rushed into hospital following a massive stroke. She's 91 and the prognosis is very bleak. I'm afraid that family business will have to take precedent over guitars for the forseeable future. I thought I ought to let you know, as I didn't want you guys to think I'd just abandoned ship.

Thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care of family, the wood is stable and is there when you get back. This sort of thing puts all else into perspective.
Godspeed

Best Wishes! I do understand what you are dealing with as I have been there too. Don't worry about the little things just focus on one task at a time and then move on. During times of stress that is the best thing you can do. Also,use this time to reflect and remember all the good times as we always carry these in our mind and hearts.

Philip
