I've heard of her, They do great work but I specifically enjoy the fact that she repurposes wood from old historic New York buildings...👍

She’s on my favorite podcast with Tom Beaujour and Dave Hill.  They’ve had some decent Hamer content on there…

I watched a documentory on Carmine Street Guitars. I believe this is where she got started. I like the idea of repurposing the wood.

That‘s what Brian May did in the 60s, repurpose old wood for guitar building.

Sounds like a leading cause of divorce...

Indeed.  Cindy worked as an apprentice under Rock Kelly at Carmine St., but puts her own twist on the builds she does - maybe more on the “art” side of lutherie with her intricate wood burning, gilding and other cool techniques.
