A couple of my flutes.

[Tom Ellis]

Ok Mottles, You asked for it.
Here are a few pics of some of the flutes if have made in the past. For anyone that hasn't done one , I encourage you to try. When my first one made a sound , I felt like the prospector when he found his first gold nugget.
There are a lot of videos on youtube to teach you how to play also.

Beautiful flutes! One of these days I'm going to have to try and make one. I really like the color of the last one, what kind of wood is it?

Eric

[Tom Ellis]

Thanks Eric, Give it a try, you will be glad you did. They are very easy to play, and sound so fantastic. The last one is purpleheart wood. I believe from South America.

Those are beautiful. I really like the raccoon cover piece. You are going to have to play a little tune for us at one of the events.

[Tom Ellis]

Thanks Kris, I did the raccoon for a gal that was in our club. I can't play you a tune, but I sure can put some notes together.

Well done project Tom and creative too. I think the racoon is a real winner.
