April 2023 Catch Up
Ok folks, we confess … we’ve been pretty quiet as of late. At least when it comes to online sharing. That might lead you to believe that we’ve gone on a long vacation or such. That is not the case. On the contrary, Jay has been well into the dust in the shop working on a variety of very cool, inspired projects. Each one deserves its own dedicated post and that is coming. Until then, we’d like to share a few teasers.
Lavin and Lichty Collaborations
Over the years Craig Lavin, inlay artist extraordinaire and Jay have worked on some lovely projects. Currently two distinct projects are underway – a custom guitar that is a gift of a lifetime from one friend to another and a project still under wraps that tells a bit of an ecological story. Both include extensive inlay designs by Craig.
See a few examples of custom instruments with inlay.
