Wood...

The owner of a big sawmill down the road from my house stopped by
to talk about my building project as he has one really big one that he never got up. (doesn't sound right, I know)
 
First time I've met him and the conversation went to instruments- he was
asking if I knew anybody that knew about very old violins as he has one-a family pass-down....anyway
when he found out my plans for part of the building he showed me this piece of wood.
 
Most everybody is probably aware of the Cyprus tree, mostly from swamp monster movies and especially
because the the "knees" of the tree. This is a Cyprus root...not knee.
I've never seen one and it may be something that will be used to ignite "pellets". He is testing for usage.
 
It is very light. I will guess like Balsa. It's very firm and easy to cut and is loud when thumped.
 
Thought you may like seeing and knowing about it.

    Did you tell him that his old Stradivarius was just a cheap knockoff of a Strativariax, but that you'd take it off his hands for a few bucks?
