A gentleman from the Ottawa valley (whose name I have forgotten, unfortunately) was selling these at craft show near Kingston. The sound was amazing!
I was inspired to give it a try. I salvaged a piece of pine from my father's scrap bin, a piece of cherry from my brother-in-law, and we all ate Altoids that weekend. Some wood had to be removed from the headstock to accommodate the tuning keys, requiring some patient chiseling with a little wood-print set I picked up in Japan. I used real Telecaster ferrules to mount the strings. An extravagant expense, but I learned a new word and it was interesting figuring out how to install them.
This little guy really sings.
