Greetings from Macica Workshop....
We have just returned from our summer vacation to the C.T. shore....

It is coming along nicely!
Looking forward to the guitar building class that begins at the end of the month at Maplewood Center for Common Craft (still room for one more student...)
Also.....Mandolin Building Class to begin possibly in October offered through Northeast Woodworkers Association http://www.woodworker.org/
A customer that I met at Grey Fox Festival this year recently came for a visit and we picked out his wood for the F4 style mandolin he has commissioned me to make for him. He has picked out a beautiful Adirondack Spruce top and the back is going to be made out of Apple wood with a wide, curled flame...Nice choice John!
Fresh Grass Bluegrass Festival at Mass MoCA in North Adams, Mass...is this weekend!
We look forward to visiting with you at our booth in the Luthier tent. Looking forward to this years event... And Lastly, as summer comes to an end.....
