Ron Cook has been building early European and early American stringed instruments since the 1970s. His work goes beyond just making an instrument, however. Hand-carved details, recycled, salvaged, and urban forest wood, and perfected techniques yield an instrument that's a playable piece of art. He's in booth 209 at the San Francisco ACC show this year, and you can view more of Cook's work and hear some samples on his website.
Can't get enough craft? Neither can we. Heck Yes Craft is a series of visual blog posts with a simple mission: to show off amazing work. Come back every Friday for more.
