 I want to thank you at Stellar Flutes for a wonderful quality product. I chose the kit in "G" as my first project, and it arrived the week I was away on a bear hunting trip in Maine. I started work on it mid-week and had in complete and playing by the weekend. The instructional DVD is an absolute "must- have" and is wonderfully done.
Since I brought home a great bear from my trip, I included a "bear paw print" on my flute, and was delighted at how the wolf came out as well. However, I will be replacing the wolf with a bear and move the wolf to my next flute with a wolf theme, leaving this flute with a bear theme to honor the spirit of the bear who has given sustenance to my family, and less fortunate families in Maine, as I could not bring all the meat home on the plane.
Although I have been making skinning knifes for years, this is my first try at a flute, but certainly will not be my last purchase from Stellar Flutes. I'm anxious to get in the woods on a cool, crisp fall morning to play what I feel at the time.... from the heart...

I would like to extend to all of you at Stellar, a heart felt Thank You.

The Kit that I ordered arrived promptly and in great shape.

The most difficult task was trying desperately to not "rush" through this project. The Bird totem is carved from western cedar, an attempt to pass the time while I waited for the kit to arrive. I am pleased how nicely it worked into the flute. The wood burning was done by me, and the entire flute is covered in a satin acrylic.

The tone of this flute (G) is pleasing to say the least. It's breathy and gentle voice is one I will enjoy for many hours unending.

Another kit was ordered yesterday, a fitting testament to how I feel about Stellar Flutes.

(David used two pretuned flute kits to make this beautiful drone.)
 

My flute came out better than I imagined.  I truly thank you all for sharing your knowledge and craftsmanship.  My first flute was a single (key of G, "The Fish", on your website) and now I have a drone (key of F#, "Two Birds").  Lily helped me out with my order over the phone and sent me two matching cherry blocks and a long strap. 

 

I took a little material from the middle of both flute kits before gluing them together so it would not be as wide.  I plugged the small breath holes and re-drilled them closer to the new center.  With such a nice "canvas" I just had to wood burn a few pictures.  The clear semi-gloss poly gave some pop to the grain and the etchings.

 

Carving the fipples was the scariest part of the whole operation.  I wasn't too clear on the angles but using the pre-drilled kit as a guide all came out great.  Tuning was a breeze on the drone side. I started small on the holes and used the wood burner for fine tuning.

 
 

Oh yeah, the flute sounds wonderful as well.  I love the astonished expressions on peoples faces when the drone kicks in and I'm playing harmony.
