Flute case - for a flute played standing on one leg ...

Gorgeous case; I love the way you inlaid the walnut burl and the ebony. Very classy! I’m sure the customer is very pleased with your product. Don’t have a clue who the flutist is, though – I was just thinking and honestly cannot name a single flutist.

That is to”tull”y awesome! I love the case, but I think I love the backstory even more. One of my favorite bands when I was a kid. I still can sing along to most of their music!

That is just too amazing. What a great story! We are talking about the band that has been my favorite since my sister gave me an unwanted 8-track tape with a drawing of a rather seedy looking character on the case.

All these years later, I still listen regularly and go to shows when they are in the area. I wish I had kept that 8-track tape, though.

Maybe you will get a photo of your customer with his new flute case. You sure did a great job on it.

Beautiful case, Andrew. The contrasting walnut and maple are bold, but very tasteful. The brass is simple and functional and perfectly installed. I am humbled.

Gorgeous work as usual Andrew. No need to go into detail ..they’re all spot on.

OOOOOH, this is Beautiful !!!!!

Another fantastic piece of perfection Andrew! Just love it…... the craftsmanship, attention to detail ( yes, I noticed that the screws were lined up perfectly…) and the wood combination, WOW, that walnut burr is just magnificent !

Question: I am assuming that the base box as you described is Maple….. but the curved portion under the walnut, is that mdf? and the bottom of the box, is that Maple also?......

Oh how I wish I could come to the UK for classes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andrew, that is just a gorgeous piece of work for an equally stunning flute! I’m sure IA was thrilled, and this case will certainly outlast whatever held that instrument before.
