(WOW – I just got an email yesterday from this group for the first time in 5 years! Seems, that somehow my account had been put in limbo by the system….glad to be back! I have updated my profile.)

This Native Flute is made of Birdseye Maple. The second photo shows the Fetish-block that sits on top of the flute, and it is made of American Red Oak and African Paduak.

You can see more at my website CherryCows.com

I do not actively make flutes for sale….pretty much just make them for myself and as gifts.

I do, however, teach how to make the Native Flute and how to play the Native Flute.

I’ll post a few more photos soon.

Great to be back….

weird, I just stumbled across a site yesterday that has a bunch of tutorials and one was how to make one of these. I never even knew they existed until then. Yours looks a whole lot better than the one in the tutorial.

Yes, I continue to update my books and I send out ‘free’ updates to all of my students.

Currently, the beginners book on how to ’make’ the Native Flute is the #1 selling manual on flute makng in the world….and I thank the thousands of folks who have bought it for that.

My latest endeavor was to finally complete (after 2 long years) my Video Series on ”How To Play The Native Flute In 6 Weeks”. Again, that is instruction for someone who has never played a musical instrument before.

Lots of fun writing these manuals and videos. Great hobby, in addition to my Native Flute making woodworking.

I hope to retire from my regular J.O.B. in 5 years and then I can really get rocking&rolling on all of this fun stuff!

Stay tuned….

Howdy Dennis….and first of all let me say thank you for supporting my books….I sincerely appreciate it.

The ”kieta Native Flute Making Manual” (intended for beginners/intermediates) is now complete and there have been no more updates.

The ”kieta Shop Booklet” (intended for advanced flute makers) continues to evolve and I post free updates on our Basic Flute Making Forum:
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/basic_naf_making/

The most recent chapter was Chap 37, and was about laminating different types of wood for the Fetish-block.

PS – I just posted another project here on Lumberjocks about my CherryCows Spokeshave Mule (draw-knife bench). Take a look at it.

Stay tuned….
