From the time I was a young child, I have always had an interest in art. Over the years, I have painted quite a few oil and watercolor paintings. Painting seascapes has been a particular passion -- a reminder of when I was growing up along the central California coast. These days, I find little time for painting with my new interest in astrophotography. However, every so often I feel a calling to pick up a brush and start another painting. Perhaps someday soon... The painting below is a scene of the wild surf typical of the area near Point Conception, CA. |

Making Classical Guitars ... |
||
|
When I was 17 years old, I took an apprenticeship from Hoyt Jeffers in Santa Barbara, CA to learn how to make classical guitars. Since that time, I have made 14 guitars over the years, with a Flamenco Guitar now under construction, slowly coming to completion. The classical guitar shown below is one I made for my wife as a wedding present. The back, sides and fingerboard are of Rosewood, the top of German Spruce, and the neck made from Honduras Mahogany. |

This is a photo of me and my daughter Amy. We built this Violin together. It was actually a Fiddle Kit that was a great deal of fun to build. The sound was not too bad either. The best thing was the Father/Daughter time together. |
