Wayne is truly a legend spilling over with talent

[@WoodAndShop]

+The “Woody” Woodshop Yup, he certainly is!

[@noahrutter2588]

One of the nicest people I have ever met.

[@samclemmons5373]

What a gifted individual!

[@JohnnyRebKy]

It’s the man himself that makes the guitars so special. In all honestly they don’t sound much different than a Martin I can get but the fact Henderson guitars are made by Wayne makes them so cool! Just a humble southern good ole boy who whittles out guitars with a pocket knife. It doesn’t get any better than that 😎👍🏻.

The world needs more people like you. Hello and best wishes from France ....

[@WoodAndShop]

vincent7520 Yup, Wayne is a great down-to-earth guy. Where in France are you from?

[@tubetone74]

Yeah, I can play a little bit" then he commences to rip it!!! So modest, so talented. Kudos Wayne.

[@JudeGold]

[@Ibaneddie76]

I would give anything to learn under this man.

"can you play the mandolin?" "I can play a little bit"-WH Shreds the mandolin.

I never believe people who say they are really good, and never believe people who say they are no good. In science it is called the Dunning-Kruger effect. The more you know, the less you THINK you know. The less you know, the more you think you know.

As part of an Airstream RV unit, I’ve been fortunate enough to have been to Wayne’s home, museum and shop (twice) during the Galax Music Festival. Fascinating guy for sure. #downtoearth

[@richardperkins5046]

First time I ever saw someone thumb and finger pick a mandolin. Wow.

[@thomastommy1192]

I am a fan of Wayne. I would love to own one of his guitars. I would also like to see the daughter do a video on making the pick guards. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing it.

[@stevenkoehler6018]

Met Wayne one year at Puget Sound guitar camp. A great player and a fine gentleman.

[@thomashverring9484]

My first guitar I made in school and it was a can with a board and real strings. It didn't sound amazing. I've yet to build my second guitar :^) Wayne's guitars are a whole lot better!

[@mikebastiat]

I love that full fretboard inlay.

[@linsk78]

That is a stunning acoustic in the beginning of the video. The detail is gorgeous.

[@WoodAndShop]

Glad you liked it Matthew!

[@Nomadahtous]

Wow what a sweet sounding mandolin👍

[@plakor6133]

[@Hollcall]

OK, here's the deal. I'll trade you 100 Politicians for 1 Wayne Henderson. lol

[@rickrudd]

He told the most hilarious semi-dirty, yet clean, joke I've ever heard when I saw him in Richmond one time.

[@renatowesurf]

What's the name of the last song he played in the end of the video? Thanks!

[@dollarmountainbluegrass986]

Freight Train

[@integrityjoe]

Hi

[@TT-wz6xy]

What’s the name of that first tune he plays at the beginning of the video ?

[@WoodAndShop]

Not sure, but it sounds great!

[@TT-wz6xy]

Wood and Shop Just a heads up , it would appear it was Wayne’s take on ‘wheels’ by Cher Atkins 👍

[@frontbum420]

Gimme that koa

[@franz335]

Nice picking😂

[@TrevorsWoodShop]

Mandolin ....that had to have been wildwood flower??
