are you still selling deft paint products? are you still finishing your flutes with this system? thanks, greg
Hi Greg…
Thank you for your message. Yes I still use the Deft products for my flutes. I really like the aerosol cans. However I no longer sell them as there are too many problems in shipping them. You are better suited to buy them locally. They can not go via air…
Tim: I tried to order a router kit, pre-bored blanks and a non- bored kit and your web page treats each as separate orders resulting in a large shipping cost. How do I combine the items to save on shipping? Thanks. Greg Dillon. grgreg@bresnan.net
Hello Mr. Jennings, my name is Tom Johns and have always liked native american music.About year and a half ago I heard how easy it was to learn,so I started my journey.Our grandson has lots of bamboo in his front yard of which were my first attempts at making flutes.My first flute was a pvc flute I got at a flute circle.I’ve seen a lot how-to-make videos.I’ve just been starting to get wood flute blanks,and I sure would liked to have found a year ago.What finish is best is a difficult choice,and tuning holes.I have a 24″ 7/8 bore with a nice E.I would like to make an F or F# as I do not want to cut any length off. Is there any way to know where to put the holes without going to high. From cutting edge to foot is 16-1/2. For finish I hear oils, polyurethanes water-base and oil base clear lacquer,and I don’t know which would be the best protection for the flute. Any help you can give would be great. Thank you. My next order will be from you, an AYC and a Port Orford. Thank you again and have blessed day
Hi John.. Thank you for your message. It is exciting to hear about your journey and path to the flute. You have asked some good questions and I will see if I can be of help to you
With regards to the finish you use on your flute – that is a personal preference. I use DEFT Lacquers (aerosol) as they have a wide variety of choices from a good sanding sealer to different finishes and it is easy to repair an dings. Oils are good too and some people prefer an oil finish. When I am commissioned the buyer kind of drives the finish I use so it does vary. I don’t like polyurethane but that is just me.
To build an F or F# you are more than likely going to start with a 7/8″ bored blank. Placement of your playing holes is not an exact science but here is a link to one of my education pages on Jacksonholetim.com that may be helpful to you.

If this does not help get back to me. Basically your number #3 hole will be at the midpoint from the end of your flute to the cutting edge. You may adjust this depending on whether or not you will use 4 Winds Tuning Holes. Then you midpoint is from the center of the top 4 Winds hole to the Cutting Edge. Check out the above post and get back to me. Have a blessed day!
P.S I also did not want to lose any of the wood aroma TomJohns
Hello Tim, the juniper flute blank came sat. morning, what a beautiful stick of wood and a beautiful block of wood. That,s an awesome block of wood, thank you. Friday morning I looked on the postal tracking page and it just left Salt Lake City with an E.T.A.for today. Sat. morning I looked to see where it might be and it said it had been delivered to my house, I looked on the porch, and there it was, I was very surprised, that it got delivered so quick. Thanks again, I,ll be back soon. Have a blessed year.
You are welcome Tom! Blessings…
