Does it seem to anybody else that those tuners don't quite fit in? They look too new to me.
Nice "marquetry" (is that the right word?).
I love the 50's table legs tho, it would fit right in with my bullet lamp and my potato chip chair. |

Looks like some painstaking workmanship.
A feller could get vertigo playing it though . . |

Yes Paul, That is Marquetry. Nice work, but a little too "busy" for my tastes.I feel it make a nice front hall table... I'm sitting here listein' to Jerry's sublime playin' & trying to psyche myself up to get to work,(but I'm afraid it's the factory not the steel!)Jeez...It's nice to have a job to whine about,Eh ?  |

| Somebody should give David Lindley the "heads up" on this one. It would clash very nicely with some of his polyester threads. |

In the immortal words of Tom Servo, "Joel, I'm tripping!"
I think it's an acoustic instrument. I don't see any electronics or jack for a cable. I'm going to get a message to Lindley about this. He needs it. |

I might go for this if noone else here is after it. Please give me the heads up if you are. I am a folk art collector and would love to have this in my studio.
