BenRom Blackbird Too - Finished

Post by Bent »

Starting another thread that is easier to navigate. Hope you all aren't sick of the same colour cabinet as the first Blackbird. But there was this guitar player in Norway who liked the looks so much that he wanted an identical one. So here you see the brother.

That is a definite beauty buddy. I love your work all a round, but I especially love your mill work. Wish I had your patients! You seem to have given birth to twins. And the wives complain about going through labour EH!
