I guess it must be spring - winter project finished at last!

Well, I guess there comes a time when you need to stand up and be counted, or have bricks thrown at you or what ever. So here it is, my turn as the target.
My winter project. My shop is NOT suitable for winter work so I decided that I would use only stuff from the spares box and see what came out of it. Took all winter to make at a rate of an hour here and an hour there. It will be going off to Houston in a day or two. My Son In Law is going to play it. (since I don't know how! )
I am going to change out the nut before I send it because I think it will sound a little more mellow with one made from bone. The current aluminum one is just a bit too bright and jangly to my ears. I will send him both and he can decide what he wants to use.
Direct spending on this thing was around $12. The rest came out of the junk drawer and the wood rack.
