Thread: New Tone Woods Site

Well, whatever cooks your goose I suppose.

Personally I think they look gross and I can't imagine why anyone would want one, let alone make one. I think woodcarving if done tastefully is great ... and there's no doubt the guy is a good carver ... but that's over the top, like putting flokati rugs on the OUTSIDE of your car as well as the inside.

And WHATS wrong with that????

What I think would be really groovey is a flokati Double Bass...mission brown of course

And what's wrong with THAT, Martin????

Gee your a crazy lot out there but very likable, good for a laugh.

Sorry Bob, Im very busy with work at the moment and in the workshop Ive got two classicals and a lute under construction. The lute alone is going to take the next 12 months to get anyway near finished. I do have a pile of Tassie BW on the shelf but it wont get used for a while.

Will let you know when I get around to using the stuff.

Cheers Martin

Plain blackwood, and its the back. Quilt maple top. Flame maple neck. Ebony fretboard with a stone and birdseye maple inlay. They are documenting every step, including the trip to Vegas to deliver it to it's owner.
