When I was in art school back in 1975, my roommate was a real back woods sort of guy who played and made mandolins by hand from scratch and he was always making a mess in our dorm room so i can relate. But you should have seen his mother of pearl inlays!
I am always asking people if they would like to adopt an orchid or two, between overbuying, then divisions and keikis my plants are outgrowing my window space!!
