This is a Black Walnut Walking stick "Em" Flute The flying hawk is carved from Lyptus and Black Walnut. The weeping heart is inlaid mother of peril and turquoise inlaid around the blow hole. The decorative band is turquoise and red agate.





These are pictures of a high D flute I made for my grandson. The Dolphin just jumped out of the wood for me, this was my first attempt at carving a dolphin but it won't be the last. The flute is made from (Aromatic) Eastern Cedar and the Dolphin is carved from Appalachian Cherry.

Slowed down but not stopped

Hi everyone,
This last week or so I have had my back go out on me so it has slowed me down but I'm still working on flutes. Especially the custom flute for a young lady and a birthday flute for my grandson. I have also been able to get one on eBay. Luckily I have a lot of blanks to work with, which means I don't have to stand at the router table to get started on a flute. I'm sure this is only a temporary set back and if anyone has had any experience with an inversion table please email me and let me know how that went for you. In the mean time,
Keep enjoying the Journey,
Larry
