ILLUSTRATION 42

He could cut out the pieces for the head, the neck (for which he preferred cherry or walnut), and put in a skin in one day. He’d cut the pieces out with a band saw, and cut out the holes for the head and the sound holes with a jigsaw. Finishing work was done with a rasp, wood file, and sandpaper. Pegs were cut out with a jigsaw and then shaped with a pocketknife. Rather than trying for a high gloss, Glenn preferred simply to rub in a wax for the finish.

He’s sold many instruments—some of them ones he didn’t really want to sell. He’d set the price at two or three times what he thought they were worth to discourage buyers, but someone always came along with a checkbook.
