News:         Customer Found Wood idea has sparked some interest, it has been well
                   received.  Although now I will be making my first Native Flute from Elk Antler,
                   stay tune. 

                   I made a couple of New flutes out of very old wood   that came from a broken-
                   up table, from an Oriental table, Bois De Rose from the best I can tell, very very hard
                   wood.  The two flutes one G and the other an A are both incredible sounding. Until
                   recently I never kept any of my flutes for myself but I did keep the A.  I must add,
                   it was not only the sound but the fact it was gifted wood.  And the story of all the
                   meals and conversations that must have taken place as it served it's time as
                   a table and now a new life creating music.

                   New DOC Slider Flute is complete.  Dual Optional Chamber with a Slider,
                   very unique.  Pictures coming soon. -- sold
                   
                   New "elements" Series is out. 
                   Although fairly transparent on the surface.  I call the series elements because 
                   the design incorporates the elements of nature; wood-earth, stone, fire, wind,
                   water & metal. The first Flute in the series was delivered in March 2009.
                 
                   book: "My Journey with the Native American Flute" Yes, I started writing a book.
                   I have had so many incredible experiences since I've set out on my flute journey.  My
                   problem was that there were so many amazing stories and experiences coming so fast
                   I was having trouble remembering them all.  Although I have been making flutes for over
                   fifteen years and the book touches on my early years, it's primary focus is on the last
                   four years or since I decided to "Step off the Edge" and make flutes full-time.   -dg
