taking a cue from a post Hesh made yesterday - "if I got a load of zoot that big, I would spread it out and roll around in it ", I figured I would have to try it out, having never done that ever before. so ....

On a bed of curly mahogany back boards, covered in zootalicious rosewoods of the most delectable types, here I am ROLLING IN IT !!!!

I love the smell of BRW in the morning .. smells like LUTHERIE.

Tony, you're a sick man.....

The scary thing is that I've actually thought about that....

A Zootroll...not bad...but it sounds like somthin' you'd eat... like a Jelly Roll, or sausage roll.

We could call it a Roll In The Zoot, or RITZ for short....

I suppose when I get these 20-30 sets of Brazilian cut I should do the same thing. It's just like Money in the Bank anyway....

I am thinking Don is on to something with the RITZ commment. Might I add something taken from the Hunt for Red October movie, where upon a sudden change in direction by a Russian sub captain is known as a Crazy Ivan, we should now proclaim this manoevre :

        the "Crazy RITZ"

Beautiful figured wood against you and all around you.

Man give me good enough lokking wood and I'm diving in myself.

I don't see this as being crazy at all but then crazy people never notice other crazy people so...........

Thanks for the pics Tony I'm envious.

Tony
As a physician, I must say you have a severe toxic disorder. The only
treatment I know is to remove yourself from the toxins. Just send me your
Zoot and you might be cured.

I am here to help!!!!!!

Just don't get any splinters in an area that would be hard to explain.

If you were rolling around naked I'd be worried.

What I see in the pictures looks like good post Heshroom renovation therapy.

I'll let you know when I stop laughing .... hilarious!

Have a good vacation my friend.

I'm gonna make a jig for removing splinters from places that a luthier, working alone, can't reach. Probably sell a thousand of them to this group. Hmmmm. Rosewood handle and there will be a feeding frenzy like no other. $$$$$$$.
That's what I see in my future.

Hey Tony you were holding out on us in Fort Erie.
One wild and crazy guy rolling in "Crazy Ritz"
I'd try it but I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to find me under the pile.

Bob is NOT allowed to do the Crazy Ritz, since the weight of his zoot could crush him....
