Kiwi,your life's in danger, send it to me NOW!

Craig,

On the marsupial theme perhaps you could make it with a pouch with a ukulele inside

Gorgeous wood and I'm sure what ever you do will look and sound great.

Wow thats some pruddy stuff.

We had a funny moment last night when our four dogs viewed this set for the first time. 2 dogs ranoff into the bush , dont know where they are ! One is still barking this morning , and the other is staying close, shaking , and in protection mode.

Serge, very good of you offering to save me from the tiger . It certainly has grabbed me , but not in a physical way. Couldn't put a Canadian bear through all this
I'll resist the temptation to include a pouch with a Uke. inside Dave . On a serious note . it would be easy to cheapen the beauty of this set .I want to make absolutley sure I do this wood the justice it deserves.
Anthony,
, I'm sorry for killing you . I feel your pain and I'll run your top wood suggestion up the flagpole for consideration. You have got a hide suggesting a sunburst ! No wait, I have the hide.
Kim, so your the one reporting all those sightings huh ? . Maybe they have an attraction to that Amber Nectar of the Gods. Hey Kim,,,,,,,,take care out there

Cheers to everyone.

Craig Lawrence

I would suggest that the only consideration for the top should be the top that will sound the best irrespective of 'claw', color, etc. The TM has enough figure and color for 4 B/S sets

Thanks Bob I think you have made a valid and important point . Consideration must first be the sound of the top wood .

Aussie Bob, I now understand why so many Tasmanians are seeing the thing .......on a Saturday night .

There are actually a group of people who believe the Tiger still exists .I can't think of the site address but they have their own forum.

I can't wait to start this build ! .
