The Baer Tenor
Our Anonymus Commissioner selected some very nice all Australian Timbers which came together to make this very elegant understated little Gem.
The Commissioner and his Partner took a very active role in this build, which has been great. They have had several visits to the workshop with lots of laughs and conversations on Tonewoods, design, colour matching.
A pleasure partnering with them.
