Glad you were able to make lemonade out of a lemon. Hope you are enjoying the full time lutherie! I like the inlay work you have done on those backs. I've never had the courage to do anything like ...

Hi Mat,

I might be thinking too much into this but it seems there are two kinds of lavendar spike oils. There is the basic essential oil version and then there is the lavendar spike oil "essence" t ...
