A little while back, Jimmie Yarnell of Santa Rosa, CA, gave me a sassafrass wood tube with a nice mouthpiece for rim blown playing. It was tuned to Ab, and blew pretty nicely. He suggested that I tune it and finish it out, which I did. Jimmie is a talented woodworker who works in a variety of styles, and his flutes are quite nice. The final product is pictured above, and it does have a nice sound. It was fun to work in wood for a change. I'm not set up for working in wood, but it is fun to work with it.
