I picked her up on Memorial Day. Junior knew I was going to be in town, so he finished it up on Monday evening for me. It was storming outside, so he even had a candle set up just in case his electricity went out. If necessary, he was ready to finish it by the light of a single candle. That's the kind of guy Junior Martin is.

She's made out of Birdseye Maple. Unfortunately, the birdseye markings don't come out well in any of my photographs. This is the best one.

I love your box.. GREAT choice of wood and maker.. this is a family heirloom !

Glenn & Hal,
Many thanks. I've been strutting around like a proud papa since Monday night.

Great choice of wood, I have a fiddle made of that maple and it truly is an awsome material. I like your site too!

Nice box, thanks for sharing. Jr. is building me one as we speak, can't wait.

Someone else on this board (R!ck maybe?) said that the best thing about doing business with Junior is that you get both a great accordion and his friendship, too.

It's absolutely true.

Hey Jude O,
Great looking box, that one looks like it can play itself! Love the 2 tone color look. Congrats!

Wow! dig it! Jr. is totally "stand up!: Congrats! Hope ya git 'Nicky' ta lick dat! Ha! .....t

Absolute beauty! 'Love the colour scheme!

Thanks. The color scheme came from an accordion I saw in Junior's shop. It was one he had made for his daughter. Mine is virtually the same except his daughter's had a crawfish on the bellows and mine doesn't.

So, I can't take any credit for coming up with the color scheme. All I did was recognize a beauty and order one for myself!

Two words---MMMM MMMM!
