This fiddle and mandolin are both around 5 years, old made to look like artifactos. Hand tooled surfaces and gun blue on the metal parts. I've made straight looking instruments but these are the fun ones.
Very cool Texcaster. My wood work is a little rougher cut. Very impressive

This doesn't endear me with the purists but life is too short for that.
Beautiful

Definitely a structurally stable shape, but I would need a new wind analysis program to help me resolve all the different vectors of the resisting shear walls.

I found some layouts that look pretty workable, but I not going to build one. I'll probably go straight to assisted living from this abode. Daughter has one picked out for us. Although I've heard going a continuous cruises may be cheaper. 
Sounds like a plan, for sure!!

Very interesting, Judy. Loved the tintype

Yup, the "Pat and Jim" story goes on - that was so funny, Larry. You and Dee are so much like us it isn't funny.

Thanks for your comment. I believe the grapes around here are Concord. My mother used to make grape jelly with them. Now my wife picks the grape leaves and uses them to make a meal called sarma. She makes a stuffing of lamb, onion and spices, etc. Then its rolled in the grape leaves individually and cooked in a broth. Delicious.
Greek?! Love stuffed grape leaves. I have a recipe for Concord Grape pie. It is soooooo good.
