"Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It's the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all. How do we define this lively darting about with words, of hitting them back and forth, this sort of brief smile of ideas which should be conversation?" Guy de Maupassant

A picture named pavanguitar.jpg

My brother-in-law, Pavan Buragohain is a real genius ... he's made this guitar from scratch and completely on his own - from solid steam-beach hardwood, a carved top, white-ash neck, and a rosewood fretboard, lacquered with polyurethane, coloured tobacco sunburst.A picture named pavan04.jpg

















Apart from designing lots of the furniture in their home and making guitars, he's an animator and illustrator - check out some of his work here, including a portrait of my younger sister at the bottom of the page I've linked to.
