From start to finish, inside
and out, I pay careful attention to every detail of craftsmanship using
traditional, tested ideas. I shape, feel, carve and listen to the wood
to create the best, bright flamenco sound or to create a classical
sound that is well balanced with excellent sustain and volume. I give
extra time and effort to my finishing process, using French Polish
rather than lacquer finishes. The layers of hand rubbed French Polish
is not only more beautiful, but also allows the tonal qualities of the
wood to come through more freely. Love of the creative process poured
into each guitar, and sanding and shaping to perfection make my hand
built guitars a lifetime treasure to own and to play.
