I have been making objects in wood for over 50 years. Originially, I made large Shaker chests of oak with hand cut dovetails, large display units and unique chairs and tables. In the late sixties I moved into making (and playing) hammered dulcimers - stringed instruments that are struck with thin mallets. Later on as a result of playing the banjo for many years, I became interested in making and repairing banjos. Over the years I worked on improving my craft, taking courses in pearl inlay from experts of the time, taking on more and more complex projects and making unique, one of a kind insturments that played as well as they looked. Making and playing clawhammer banjos was great fun and kept me grounded in the American folk instrument venue... Prior to retirement, I fell in love with the humble ukulele. I say humble with great respect. Anyone who has seen the fine work being done on these instruments by custom builders and heard the quality and diversity of the works played on them..
