When I'm not enjoying the Zed, my longstanding hobby is building acoustic guitars, I've made over a hundred now, some are in the hands of some 'legendary' players. I just love the challenge of reading the grain and transforming a plank or two of rough wood into a musical instrument.
Here's a couple of my builds.

The inlay in the top took over a week and has over a thousand pieces.

But if you want to see the work of a true artist, then my friend Howard Klepper in the USA made a couple of guitars called 'Dovetail Madness', all of the pieces were dovetailed together by hand, the guy is a pure genius.
