Hey, just to let folks know, the first two strats I ever carved are available. If you want to make an offer don't be shy. The price I'm willing to take is likely a lot less than you think.*Also, I'm dropping brand new sets of pickups in them and a new bridge for the Mexican Theme guitar. Both guitars will come with a hardshell molded Fender case and key. This is a great opportunity for a collector. What I get from this will go straight into my tools and shop. A good cause as far as I'm concerned :-)Remember! Don't be shy!All My BestBob
Here's a video from November 2005 of a news spot they did on me in our home here. It sort of gives you a bit of an idea of what I do and for the time being and where I do it [a table in the kitchen... yes my wife is a Saint].All the BestCarver Bob Ironside

My Interests


This is the new Bone-A-Billy Stratocaster -The body was a Mexican Fender strat that had been made out of 7 pieces of Alder. I wondered why it fought me so hard during the carving process. The grain of the wood reversed every 2 or 3 inches! Incredible! You never know what's under the paint. IT's the last painted guitar I'll strip.
That being said, I started this in October of 2006 and had to shelve it for a bunch of other projects, some shown here and others that were private that I can't show.In the end it has paid off though with one of the weirdest pieces I've done. It's gone to a private collector.

This is a video demonstrating the new "Bone-A-Billy" Strat [well if you call using a snapshot camera to shoot a video a video]. It's a demonstration to let folks know that these guitars do indeed work and sound pretty good [a lot better if some pro was working it too]

I'd like to meet:



Here's Some Banners to Some Friends Pages [well and my webpage as well mind you]

Television:

Pretty wretched over all but it has the odd moment. Guess I'm getting old? Is it Wheel of Fortune and tea and toast next?

Books:

Well books don't get deleted or throw commercials at you and if you want to put it down and pick it up... it works! Human monkey minds don't perceive the delivery system too well from Television so... what can I say; if you watch it be aware of that?

Heroes:

My Parents & My Lady Kathy & Children & My Family en mass & My Friends [who are the family we choose]A special meditation goes out to my cousin Me-Me who is getting back at the painting [she's so creative] and my Sister Windy who is also painting in spite of tremendous illness problems.
