Thanks for that Bob.
It's always hard losing a pet/family member. Boris was a Ragdoll and, like Birmans, very laidback and affectionate.
Cheers,

188109This is Boris. He unfortunately passed away last month but I thought he looked good in his case and had to share. He liked to listen to and sing along with whatever I was playing. He also...
I would subscribe to a Leone year. I've been picking at Leone's method and would welcome the focus on the style and technique.
True enough. Apparently the Cole is built with some unique patented method. Basically thin T shaped strips of wood between each rib to connect them.
Definately. I will probably venture out and...
I wasn't really too fussy about what wood my bowls were, but I have to admit now I think I am a fan of the maple bowls. The Calace has a much nicer range from warm to bright compared to my W.A. Cole....
I took a look back at my orders and it appears that I special ordered the Soloist set from SBM. You could probably do the same if you really wanted to try them out. I don't remember it taking much...
I had a happy find today. I just got this 1919 Calace a few hours ago. I don't know much of it's history but I'm happy to see that it's previous owner had strung it up with some unknown brand of...

I've been using Optima Mediums Flatwounds (Set 2135) on my flatback mando and I just recently switched from Dogal Calace strings to Optima Soloist Flatwounds (.010-.030 3050 L) on my bowlback. I'm...
I'm not sure if this counts as a bowlback of note, but I thought that I would throw it in here anyways. I recently picked up a W.A. Cole bowlback in Vancover, BC. It's in pretty decent shape, some...
Hi Beekeeper
Here are a couple photos of my Wolle picks. I am not sure if theses are from the ones I shaped or the ones I asked Trekel to shape when I bought them. Either way I hope it helps.
