flood Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hi, came across an eBay seller offering this wood relatively cheap... i haven't heard of it before, so i was wondering what it could be used for, and if a first build using it is advisable (solid body). thanks for any help.

Primal Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 It seems to be a wood common in the construction of djembes, congas, and other types of hand drums. I suppose if its good enough for hand drums, it should have decent acoustic properties and would certainly be strong enough for a guitar body.

orgmorg Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Ya, you might get blisters on your fingers! Do you have a pic of it? I'd be interested to see what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
