Over the years,, I've been able to make some instruments that my customers have been pleased to own.  Sometimes though, it is difficult to understand what someone will purchase, but I think I'm onto a pattern.  Years ago, I made an opossum violin, and it sold.  Then a year or so later, I made another opossum violin and it sold.  Three years ago, I made an opossum violin and it sold.  The opossum violin I'm still working on has sold (Thank you, Jim B.).  I think I'll make another opossum violin.  I think I will make a lot of opossum violins.  Stay tuned.

I have in my possession some sassafras lumber, some of which is quarter sawn.  I think I will be making some mandolins and guitars with it.  If you like, I can make you a set:  a violin, mandolin, and guitar.  You would be unique.  Let me know.

    It's me again, John Dancer, and I thought it would be of interest to someone if I were to journal the process of building whatever it is I happen to be building at the time, so that one could gain...um...valuable insights of my philosophy and methods.  In other words, these posts will reveal some of the "how and why" of my work.  Again, I thank you for visiting, and wish you well in your quest for...um... knowledge.
