thanks Fellas! Nez there are some red core tuff on the overlays, but that's all. Hardly use phenolic these days, mainly core tuff glass.

As I am going senile and forgetting everything, i have been reliably informed that it is Purple heart/bubinga not Zebrano.Could have sworn it was Zebrano but will certainly defer to my informant who has vast experience in these matters :D

Great stuff Bob, beautiful combo. I know what you mean about the rain, I reckon I could get a job as a drought breaker, all I'd have to do is take an almost finished bow to where ever they need the rain and I'm sure it would follow :violin: .
