The Knothole Lutherie Shop: AKA McCloud Designs

This site is dedicated to learning. I encourage viewers to come in and ask questions about wood and guitars. I will always be a "student" and strive to learn with every project I begin. Come in, if you play guitar --- play, if not, enjoy the beautiful woods. Most of all, enjoy the moment, life is full of them.

About Me

John: Eugene, Oregon, United States; The Knothole Lutherie Shop was created October 2009 in the Lincoln City Cultural Center to create 22 classical guitars. My late wife Lennis and I decided that I needed a diversion to keep my mind off her condition. I had been building guitars and collecting lutherie wood as a hobby since 1991 so I had the building blocks for a project like this. This project was started strictly as a creative and sharing process without the thought of marketing...that's still my philosophy for the Knothole Lutherie Shop...My life moved on. I remarried and moved to Eugene in 2012 with my wife Ewalina. Together we share the artistic world. She displays her water colors and I display my guitars at the Pacific Artists Co-Op in Lincoln City. Come visit and talk wood and guitars.
