Flutes

This is a basic sunflower flute in the key of G .Redwood or cedar is used for mouthpiece and nest area. I also will use the same material for the flat style fetishes with a chimney cutout. Each flute is sealed by using a torch to seal from cracking then sealed as my other flutes are using several coats of shellac. They are a very light to hold and very interesting to look at .Sunflower flute are primitive looking and I try to keep them as natural as possible. Every sunflower flute has a tone and voice of there own .I feel that sunflowers are happy, bright and full of life this is same in every flute.

and is special to me. When I started making this flute my brother had passed
away. I did not feel like finishing it or to work on any other flutes. However
after many days I completed this flute and played a song in his honor .That
night when I played the tune brought tears to my eyes but I just kept playing
from my heart and let the flute take over it was the best sounding music that I
ever had created .This flute has a 1-1/4 bore in the key of Bb with a walnut
bird fetish allowed by my friend whose
design it is.
