So, I finished the bassoon. It is on eBay, with audio files you can listen to - so go listen to me play for basically the first time in five years!
It turned out very very well. I have some more pictures - some are probably better than what are on eBay - let me know if you're really interested to see them. I'm borrowing a camera because we lost the charger for ours. In any case, I'll try to post more in detail about it later. Here's the eBay link:

Hopefully I can post more about the process later. For now - it's on to the next bassoon! (Pictures in upcoming days)
