gee i forgot to edit these down. at some point i just started drooling and put my camera down. i even forgot to take photos of the wood i picked for scarlet
this first shot? 35,000 ft over bryce canyon with an olympus c750 digital 10x zoom
i just like the photo

here is val who literally opened the door for a smoke when i pulled up...

i couldnt resist going back to my roots and had to play the classico.. i began playing upright bass at the age of 10
the bevel on the edge of the classico will be on the new tribute...

a carving we will go- tony has a new student that he is teaching how to carve.. i envy the fella...

if i want soo coocoo for coco bolo- i would have grabbed this piece of spalted- but i think its got a home- but is this pretty?

and here is some of the folks that came to visit- i believe on e of these fellas plays with string cheese....
and a good reason to call in advance!

every executive needs agood desk- this is val's and yes that is a custom alembic desk top

what a great day... bill panzer took me to an athletics game after the visit,., i will have to go back there soon and spend some time in the area- san fran- napa valley were so pretty

Hell, it seems like Bill spends more time at the factory than Mica does.  And she's there every day!

Great pictures, Jeff, thanks for sharing them

What can I say?  My clients keep getting busted in Sonoma County and I can't bring myself to drive by the Hearn exit without stopping in to visit my in vitro Further.  Plus the folks at Alembic really make one feel at home.
 
Bill, tgo

Flax, yes, the seated guy in the purple shirt looks like Bill Nershi, guitarist with String Cheese Incident.

Nice pics Jeff. I'm sooooo jealous. One of these days the chicks will fly the nest and Mrs J and I can visit wonderland for ourselves ;-)

Some of us can only dream about a visit like that.
 
My next trip to the states will involve Philadelphia, PA, Columbus, OH, Dallas, TX, and Denver, CO.  I would really like to try to squeeze in a trip to CA as well.  
 
Thanks for the Pica!

Nice pics, Jeff!
