I do all my own work.  These days computer aided CNC and laser inlay has taken over the lutherie world. It can be stunning and virtually unmatchable by hand work, but for better ot worse, I do not use lasers or CNC tools. I also do all my own finish work, never sending out the finishes to someone else.

I am in the process of changing some of my finishes. For health and environmental reasons I will be limiting doing high gloss lacquer and will instead do more satin finishes where applicable. A high gloss finish takes many coats of lacquer and most of it goes into the atmosphere. For my 
satin finishes, I build  a base finish of shellac and topcoat that with a satin lacquer. The shellac finish is hand applied rather than sprayed like lacquer and the overall finish is far less poluting to the earth. I admit that the satin is not for everyone. It is definitely a non-shiny finish.

"I just wanted to let you know that the uke arrived today safely. It is a stunning piece! But even more so the tone on this instrument is just awesome! Lots of nice punch on the low end with great clarity and it was just completed. I'm sure it'll sound even better as it gets settled in. That brazilian and red spruce combination is just killer and your work is top notch." Sept. 2018  S.Y.
