[Woodcarver] Yes, I do still carve!

Joe,
Blowing across the hole (embouchure?)is for the classic flute design.  The
Native American style flute has a slow air and the flute body separated by a
wall.  There is a channel under the totem (in this case the hawk) that takes
the air flow across to the whistle part (fipple).  There a good explanation
and diagram at...

...although I don't consider it an "odd instrument" <G>.

Keep on Carvin'

Hi Mike,

Awesome flute. I love the grain and the finish. Do you make the type where 
you blow across the hole?

I'm still carving too, in-between throwing pots. I'm currently working on a 
18-inch square butternut logo for DeKalb County Community Foundation. I 
thought it was a challenge keeping the shop clean when I was just carving. 
Now, with doing clay pottery there's fine clay dust all over everything. 
Last week I started taking a clay sculpture class. It's very exciting.
