Beautiful francis. Are you really not going to build any more instruments?

Beautiful francis . Are you really not going to build any more instruments? Currently my hand condition is getting worse and unless I can find a work around it doesn't look likely. I still have to finish the J45 I started before the 12 string and I've even contemplated giving away my guitar moulds (excepting the Parlour mould) as I still have some back and side sets I've been saving in store. (And I haven't sold Paul a parlour yet... )! Time will tell.

Want to acknowledge this but don’t want to “like” it. Sorry to hear about your hand condition, Francis. My son won’t return my Milsom lacewood and I didn’t foresee that there might be no more! That walnut looks lovely. Hopefully there will be an improvement in your hand health, and more beautiful guitars will follow. Best wishes, Vinny.

...I hope something can be done to alleviate the hand problem, Francis. Any avenues left unexplored? But it is stretching credulity to expect me to believe that i) Paul hasn't persuaded you to make him a parlour yet and/or ii) you haven't persuaded him to acknowledge his need of one! Keith

Your build threads, and your instruments, would be a real loss to this 'ere forum francis, so I really hope that whatever is troubling your hand can be alleviated. Go well, fella.
