I don't do woodburning on scratchbox soundboards very often, but I did on this one.

It looks like laser engraving, but it's not...it was a challenge to do four alike.

The dark spalted maple makes the detail difficult to see, but it's there. When finished, it will be stunning. I debated about not doing the woodburning, but I just couldn't resist.

I got into too much hurry and glued up this scratchbox backwards...so now I have a left-handed scratchbox. I'm not left-handed.

My 4 year old grandson, Jackson, says when he gets bigger he's going to help me make turkey callers. For Christmas, he wanted me to make him a Santa Claus for him to paint to give to his mother for Christmas. Doing what a grandfather normally does when a grandson asks for assistance with making his mother a Christmas present, I went up in the wood loft and found a block of curly ash and did some carving. Jackson did most of the painting...and he asked me to do the touch up. He and I both think it looks like a Santa and his mother will like it.

Merry Christmas to all!!! May the spirit of Christmas last for each of you the entire 2022!!!

These scratchboxes didn't sell at Unicoi, so when I got back home, I removed the finish and did some woodburning. I sure did hate to cover up that cherry burl, but after I did the woodburning, they sold quickly.
