Hay yew all,i got a call from gun doc last night " hey dude meet me at the truck stop I got something for you" so I meet him at the truck stop in the middle of the night :-[ and he hands me this piece of mystery wood ??? sweet what kind is it I ask he smiles and shrugs his shoulders... I'm thinking maybe Elm, but it's not stringy and a bit softer maybe cherry what you all think?
