​My book, The Folk Art Instrument Builders Reference, written nearly a decade ago, is now available in many local libraries.

It provides a brief history of this style of instrument building, which began in the mid 1800's, and then guides you through building your very own guitar, and many other, fully functional instruments.

Also available online @ Amazon, Walmart, and Target.

I spent 2 years away from my workshop, and this was this first instrument I built after returning in July of 2021.

It is a baritone scale, lap steel; constructed using a 100 year old barometer. I call them Baromitar's, and this is the 3rd one that I have built. I made this custom guitar specifically for Justin Johnson.

This instrument took 6 months to complete. I will post build details soon.

In addition to building instruments and folk art, I also collect and sell authentic vintage cigar box instruments, memorabilia and ephemera ranging from books, postcards, records, cigar boxes, cups, plates and more.
