Howdy Redbird,
A couple of questions for you:
(1) You mentioned that your flute had a 'small bore'. How small? (I
have been in discussion about a 1/2" Bore recently.)
(2) Tell us a little about using 'chimneys' on your Fetish-blocks.
How and why. Lots of folks will be interested.
(3) Will we get to see the finished Flute in the PHOTOS section?

Kind regards,
ki-e-ta
