Lucanus : a genus of stag beetles, Lucanidae.

PREVIEW : Work begins Summer 2015

The idea for this project stemmed randomly from a texted conversation between my brother and me as I was watching the new Robocop film. I wanted to work on a Flying-V style guitar and thought the antlers of the Stag would complement the design well, but the idea itself was very spur-of-the-moment and I don’t actually know where it came from.

I complied my thoughts and designs into the ‘Red Book’, my pocket notepad which occasionally accompanies me to various public houses where ideas are formed during consumption of fine ale. In this case I was sat overlooking the Mediterranean with a glass of wine as I sketched inlay designs.
