Kansas Birch (1" bore; key of E) with a Pecan, Rosewood and Butternut tenon mouthpiece. Block features a Pecan / Honduran Mahogany figure on Red Maple, Madrone burl and Eastern Red Cedar. The decorative element is a stone inlay and wood burned representation of a corn plant using Malachite and Pennsylvania Jet with yellow "tassels".
This flute is composed of Black Walnut with Pecan mouthpiece and end
cap (key of E). Decorative elements include red coral inlay
wolf tracks and a wood-burned image of a wolf head on the south end of
the bore. The wolf perched on the block is carved from Pecan. Super
responsive, this
flute produces a strong vibration easily felt in the finger tips while
playing.
This Cherry (F#) flute features dragonfly inlay and wood burned images on the block and on the bore of the flute.
This is an Oscola Eastern Red Cedar flute. 1"
bore, key of E. The turtle carved into the south end of the bore is
heading towards shore. The block features a turtle coming out of the
surf (inlay opal, azurite, malachite, and turquoise). | ||||
Black Locust with a Tasmanian Blackwood / Eastern Red Cedar (felled by Hurricane Irma in Windsor, FL - 09/2017) mouthpiece. The block features a Pileated Woodpecker (Gabon Ebony / Pink Ivory) working a Thuya burl tree on a base of Tasmanian Blackwood / Eastern Red Cedar. A silhouette woodpecker in flight is wood burned at the bore end. Flute #313 is tuned as a G4 with a 7/8" bore and has an overall length of about 20 5/8."
