2 Agave didges: #030711: 50 inches tall, 3" bell, in the key of E flat. It's got two round seashells embedded in the body, which I've sanded down to reveal the intricate spiral structures within. Brazilian cherry mouthpiece. SOLD! To Jonathan in Coventry RI - Thanks dude! See you soon! ~~ #030711A: 45 inches tall, 3" bell, just about an F. No decorations except for the natural patterns of the plant. Brazilian cherry mouthpiece.

~~A gnarly didj in about a D. Made from spalted Mulberry, with a window in the bell that has a real wasp embedded in it!~~ SOLD! To Rich in Florida. Thanks mate!

"Wizard of the Woods": A really groovy-looking Locustwood didge. I've left the root burl and bark around the bell, and put a big quartz crystal into the body near the bell end, in a natural opening in the wood. It's got a Cherry mouthpiece too. The key is about a C#.

"Shark": The shape of this one reminds me of a shark for some reason. It's a knobby ol' Maple, in the key of C/C#, and has a Mulberry mouthpiece. The bell end is cut at a slight angle, adding to it's "Sharkiness". This is one real earthshaker!

In process A unique Mulberry instrument: Inner layers of yellow/orange wood are exposed in some areas, contrasting with some very light outer layers. I've put a Locustwood mouthpiece on it. More on this one later.
