Tom Harper and Pat Magowan joined me for two weeks of building flamenco guitars.  It was a fantastic learning experience for all three of us as we shared information and building styles with each other.  Tom built a flamenco instrument in the tradition of Santos Hernandes, Pat built an exotic myrtle instrument in the tradition of Herman Hauser I and I built two, one Hauser and one Barbero. Pat is an expert in sharpening chisels and plane blades and using them so through the entire experience we were learning how to have extremely sharp tools to facilitate us in our work.  The attached photos show the exquisite flamed myrtle along with two interior photos of my Hauser.
