I make my guitars in my shop located in the Eastern Foothills of the North Cascades of Washington state. The wood I use is local or regionally harvested. My goal is to make a great playing and sounding guitars using wood from trees grown in the Pacific Northwest.

Trees. Trees and wood. I work with both. In the Summer it's fruit trees, fruit and selling fruit. And in the off season, with wood. I've made furniture, doors, our house, turned and sculpted wood. Then I made my first guitar and haven't stopped since. Contact me: splintergarden@gmail.com

  1. Michael, I bought one of your Walnut Weissenborn over a year ago, and haven’t put it down since. I love it. I just recommended you to a friend who is a hell of a lot more musician than I, Gregory Alan Isakov. He may be contacting you to buy a Weissenborn. I absolutely love mine. Thanks again.
