This is a pictorial essay of Kahle M. building his OM guitar at the Wells Workshop. Kahle wanted to learn how to build a guitar. Because he lives close he continued his study to include the finishing process. He took excellent photos of the process and has agreed to let me share them with those who are interested. Thanks to Kahle for building a great guitar!
