    @Rabbit - is that the strip canoe you mentioned building in another thread? That's beautiful! I haven't seen many proper canoes in Australia, and that one's an exceptional example. Nice work.

    Sorry for the detour FW...

    Well if you blokes don’t hijack it it just means that I have to and I’m already so very busy

    That’s said it really is a beautiful canoe. Another project I would gladly have a crack at given money time space etc.

    Yeah, shoot 'em through. I'll never build one, but I was an avid paddler once upon a time. Shoulders are rooted now...
    Used to paddle in a strip canoe my mate built. Went through some pretty good white water with it!

    Cheers,
    Mick

    OKAY - END OF HIJACK!!!

    Many (many) years ago I was involved in rescue boats and helo's. One of the boats I crewed was of timber construction. Every other boat was fibreglass. The sign below hung in the shed and I think it applies equally to guitars:
