arts and crafts style Tuba 18

#1 Post by Bbieger »

WEll, I finished the tuba 18 I made for a buddy of mine. Turned out pretty nice, I'm not a big fine of taking the "easy" route. plus, he is a good friend so I would hate to just show up with a big flat black box.

Plus, I enjoy wood working.. until I sand through the paper thin veneer and have to spend several hours covering up the bright orange glue with custom blended arcylic paint :(

Hope you guys like it....

Very nice work. With a better background, I'd think a picture of that sub would look good on Bill's main T18 advertisement page.

Very nice! That's in the "fine furniture" category. I.E. the WAF is high. It looks great.
