[QUOTE=Hesh1956] Hey Don I think that it would be very cool if you let Lance have set 5. [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Hesh1956]BTW my picture above is with the wood bone dry, there is nothing on it......[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but you can't fool me! I see that power line running into the wood. Bet all those curls and slashes disappear when you cut the juice, huh?!!! They do, don't they? Please?

here`s some Ovankol with finish on it.
this is the guitar I built for Steve Roberson. I would discribe this wood as a lot like E.I Rosewood. It has about the same density and tap tone, maybe a bit heavier. I give this wood a thumbs up for sure.

Great looking guitar Matt!

I'm thinking about how cool that would look with tortoise shell bindings...

I can't wait to build with my set #6...
