- From Wood to Singing Guitar is an Appalshop documentary film showcasing Wayne C. Henderson, the master musician and master luthier from the small town of Rugby, Virginia near the foot of Mount Rogers (the highest point in Virginia). A skilled craftsman & respected musician by his teens, Wayne was taught and encouraged by those around him including the folk hero E.C. Ball and the kind & generous fiddle maker, Albert Hash. Learning much more than just guitar building and playing, Wayne continues to do the same for the younger generations by sharing the craft with others like Gerald Anderson, who is passing it onto Spencer Strickland, and encourages any young musician to play with him and his friends such as Doc Watson, Steve Kilby, Herb Key, Jeff Little, Sammy Shelor, Roni Stoneman, Robin Kessinger, The Kruger Brothers, and the list goes on.
Towards the end of August 2008, with nearly everything shot, this 6 minute video is a short trailer edited for an Appalshop documentary film about Wayne Henderson. The working title is From Wood to Singing Guitar. Visit www.appalshop.org for more information.
I've had the pleasure of knowing Wayne my whole life. I live not far from him, and I have picked with him countless times in the past. I would like to say that not only is he the best luthier and picker I know, he's also the most genuine and humble gentleman that I've ever met. I've learned so much from him just watching him for a few hours at a time in his shop. I'm 24, and I'm going to attempt to build my first guitar soon. He is the true definition of inspiration.
Wayne is an American treasure!
One of these days, I plan on owning a Henderson guitar. Thank you for sharing.
Great Video of a legendary Luthier and great Picker🇺🇸
Truly an American treasure ,no doubt !!!!!
Me and my sister are proud owners #15. Mom had it made back in 1969-70
Craftsmen, artists, teachers.
Wayne Henderson is a brilliant Appalachian craftsman and musician, and this film is just wonderful!
WIthout a doubt, Appalshop has produced some of my favorite documentaries. This is one of the best, reminding me in all of the best ways of the first that I ever saw "Waterground."
Not everyone can own a Henderson guitar, but after seeing this, I really want one.
Great Job, Appalshop. I will be ordering the full length version of this.
I've only just come across these vids...where've I been looking all this time? These Guitars sound so awesome...I'd almost kill to own one!
Great. Looking forward to seeing the film.
awesome video, I truly feel inspired. thank you for sharing this !
I like the bit about Old #7....
We never met, but I'm a student of Roger Sprung... I traveled around with him from 2007 thru 2014...Galax once, and Clifftop twice. You're an American Hero!🎵🎵🎵

Clear springs flowing
Fingers picking out the strings

Chow Time
So ... Wayne, you mention you originally "traded" that old guitar to a moonshiner. Uh, in the interest of inflation, how many gallon jugs did he charge you? For a new Henderson guitar today many jugs would it cost?
HES COMMN 2 MY SCHOOl

But please wear a mask!
Bloody hell. I'm gonna burn my guitar.
face mask gents we want y'all to live for ever
