Some of the older members might remember I grow, dry out and carve my own guiro's and some chekere also. Ive kept some for myself cause I just cant seem to part with them even after being offered a couple of hundred dollars for them! Others Ive sold and made for specific musicians and friends who truly appreciate the instrument and craft and dont see them as something that 'would look retro ethnically appealing' on their mantel or shelf... Anyway Here are the pics.
Hope you enjoy and learn something. Comments welcomed.
A long time ago...... Not quite the beggining... I seem to have lost the pics of the seedlings first emerging.

Ready to get started on carving
Few simple tools...
