See if you can guess the wood! Hint: one of them isn't Aussie timber!
American Walnut?
Nope! It's wenge! Then Vic ash and tas Blackwood.
beautiful grain in the wenge Simon, this will be a super sexy bass indeed. Lucky you are far enough away from the DB bass napper haha
nice crocs mate, we just got 4 Aldi stores opened last week in WA, apparently the queues outside to get in were very long !
Damn, Wenge was my next guess. You've been to Anagote, haven't you? I have Wenge from them for another project. Nice stuff!Quote:

er, as cool as that would be, no. Its going to be dark stripes in a neck blank for a Neck through Baritone.
edit: the above sentence is missing the appendage ", eventually. ".
sounds awesome Franken, will that be a 12 hour challenge ? haha
back to the Simon show as we aren't thread jackers hahha
How did you find sanding the Wenge? it seems very tough but rather splinter prone (at least my bits were).Quote:
