Didgeridoos for sale

I have (4) four didges for sale they are in the following keys

C# D G & A


These didges are all hand crafted from Chaparral Yucca, they are very light and easy to handle. I craft all my instruments with due respect to the plant spirits and carve them with love and passion.

The insides are coated with two coats of epoxy resin to seal the inside surfaces and keep them hygenic. (they can be washed out using a warm saline solution) The outsides are coated with at least six coats of a water based urethane for a high gloss finish. I like to custom fit the mouthpiece to each customer whenever possible.

Making Didges




The didge blanks are now in my shop and I have drilled through the first one. Next step is to clean it out, pour resin through it then clean the outside.

Vacation notes








It was wonderful to return again to the Oregon coast.This trip was specially great as we arrived just as the Oregon fall beach clean up had been completed. Every beach we visited from Lincoln City to Yachats a distance of about 80 miles was absolutely pristine from the aspect of litter.
A great difference from my April trip when I collected a bag full of trash in a 200 yard walk.

The trip was highlighted by having my new didgeridoo 'Desert Honey' along. Honey got her name as a result of a shamanic journey. I was originally going to call her honey using an indiginous word for honey but I did not find a word that appealed to me hence the journey.

In my journey I was accompanied by my guide Crow and one of my power animals Eagle.

I explained the purpose of my journey to my companions and we wandered through a desert landscape scattered wih rocks and dotted with cactus. After some time we rested and as we rested we became aware that the desert floor was covered with a carpet of yellow flowers, and that there were bees everywhere busy gathering the pollen. Thus the name 'Desert Honey'.
During the vacation I came to know my new instrument she has wonderful tones anda great versatility especially with my vocalizations.
Sitting by the ocean and playing my didge is one of the great pleasures of my life, a truly spiritual experience blending myself to the ocean. I am now beginning the journey into making didges of my own.
Peace and Love

I have attached a few pictures of this beautiful area for your enjoyment.

Horse Reiki


I spent the afternoon doing Reiki and ThetaHealing on horses at my friends property. It is truly an amazing experience and a great privilege to be able to meet these animals and to work with them. The horses responded to the Reiki by becoming very relaxed.
In this picture the horse is actually yawning. Relaxation is also shown by the looseness of the ears, the lowering of the head, and the sigh of release.
A few weeks ago one of this group of horses was so badly colic-ed that the vet recommended putting it down. A few hours of Reiki from its owner and some friends and the horse fully recovered.

Didging out on the beach

Playing the didge at Beverly Beach state park in Oregon (April 2010) An amazing experience blending the sound of the ocean with the sound of the didge.
This is a very spiritual place for me. I was able to go to the beach every day for 10 days. I took a bag with me every day and picked up a bag full of trash. I noticed by the end of my stay that the park trash container was filled with many bags of trash gathered by myself and others.
A good idea every time you go to the beach or a park take along a shopping bag and fill it with trash. If we all do this we can significantly affect the health of the planet.
