Another Soloist--Who Gives a Hoot?

[Great Ape]

A bird and some barnwood...don't ask why, these things just pop into my head fully formed, and some of them just beg to be carried out...on wood! Black hardware & pickups to come...this is basswood, which I sometimes choose because it often shows negligible grain of its own. So in this case, I had to add the grain by woodburning so it would (wood?) appear more appropriately barn-y.

Mr. Ape, your threads are one of my favorite things on this forum. That is badassical in the extreme!

Just when I think I have a favorite, you start another one. More mystical than some. Beautiful, as always.

I give a hoot. That one is sick. It looks like a graphic from a comic book with the border. So bad ass. Great job on creating that wood grain. Killer execution on this one.

Aah, man! The website is CRAWLING toward um, something...like maybe - existence...I hope...but I am workin' on it. No, really, honest...kinda...

Wow! Very much "Trompe-l'œil". Great work as always.

Squarespace and others like it make it easy to do a website.

What pickups?

Pickups are a Li'l '59 in the neck, and my go-to for humbuckers-Duncan Antiquity in the bridge.

God, that is SICK.  I wish you'd make a video one day of you doing some wood burning, some dyeing/coloring, etc.  This is just amazing artwork.  You're a master, my friend.  I think I love this one the best.  ccasion14:
