Gooday family and friends, I hope all is well in your life…
I have been watching my youngest son Andy at big timber and slabs in mullum doing some incredible large work…stuff that I also did at his age….
These days my back likes me to be doing lighter work, furniture, guitars & design…
Here are a couple of “tractor “ seat high stools that I have just finished…
The recipients have waited a while for these… they should be happy…
Seat tops are local camphor, legs Norfolk Island pine, rungs are Rose gum, wedges forest red gum…
Grain orientation may not be obvious but plays a big part…
Finished in TUNG OIL…

Blue and clear skies around home, with T shirt and shorts weather too !!!
A photo popped up from 10 years ago when I made my very first Tele…
A massive white cedar tree came down in a storm out at Upper Capeen creek ( near Old Bonalbo Nth NSW ) about 12 years ago with
Ruler straight grain..( I scored a fair bit of its wonderful timber).
My friend gave me a very high quality Japanese neck, another friend ( forgot who ) gave me a pair of Active EMG pickups…and so the journey began…
On completion of the guitar , Fender Australia owner , gave me a Fender Blues Junior, series 3, limited edition valve amp….
What an awesome combination!!!
It’s a killer!!!
This guitar almost plays itself with amazing tones !
It has become my “go to “ guitar for gigs !!!
PS… noelzie and I went to watch one of our grandsons play soccer in Mullum this morning, what a buzz watching our grandsons growing up !

My garden is going off !!
The cauliflower is about 225 mm diameter, the big broccoli about 170 mm diameter.. the broccolini is powering all over the place…
A great feeling to be reaping the rewards of the effort put into the garden!!!
