I may use superglue. If I can 'cap' the finger with something rigid, that might work. I won't be able to feel the string as well, but that would be the case anyway. It seems as though I have severed quite a few nerves. I can't feel most of the end of my finger. Until I put pressure on it, then WOW!

Superglue and a finger bandage and some morphine. Kidding. Sort of.

I am a vet also and SG works great..you may need a few layers though. Also you may need to take a bottle with you to reapply during the breaks. Also may want to cut the finger off a latex glove..thin...and tape in on down low. Dunno if you can play this way but try it. Man, I feel for ya'.

Yup, another major piece of art work. Beautiful. Walnut?

The finger was traumatized a bit, but survived. I put a Liquid Bandage on as a first coat, then some cool medical tape that sticks but also breathes. Then I coated that with superglue. Had to rebuild it after Set 3.

All is well. The audience danced their asses off. There was a bachelorette party at the club. Drunken bachelorettes make for good audiences.

The drunker they get the better you sound..always. Glad it went well...now heal boy heal!

yeah, and be careful with knives...and door jambs.
