This is kinda fun, or so some say.
At least I enjoy it!
Anyway, with the mold cleaned out, the next guitar's sides went in for blocks. Can you guess what these sides are? (And I think my bro has an extra tub-o-lard for the winner around his house somewhere.)

Good luck,
Steve

I'm in the Malaysian blackwood camp, but maybe it's a little too dark?

No.

I love easy questions.

Donate my bucket of lard to the OLF auction. That way the others will have a fighting chance.

Ok, we have a winner.

I wonder what the shipping will be to Sydney, Australia?
I'd rather ship to Oklahoma, but PaulB was the first correct answer.

It didn't take him long, did it?

By the way, Paul, send your address info to my brother.

Lard is pretty heavy. I'll bet the shipping cost more than the item shipped.

Maybe we could just buy him a pig, an Australian pig, and let him make his own?
