Let me know and I will mail it over.

Well, Grant, I think I'll take you up on that offer. I'll use it and send it back so you'll have it if you decide to use it again.

Thanks!

Dennis

Dennis, it should hopefully be there tomorrow. Please don't send it back after this guitar. I am NOT intending to use it again, so keep it. If I change my mind, I will let you know.

Thank you, my friend, and next I'll be watching to see how you plane and whittle by hand - if it's faster, easier, more enjoyable, or produces a better surface, I'm all over it.

It arrived! My wife got the mail as she was leaving today, and so I didn't get to see it until late today. It will get used tomorrow morning!

Thanks again, Grant!
