"Thanks" Jim & Jeff, have used the "Vox Teardrop" design before, the Bamboo Bowl Resonator idea came from a Video posted a while back by a chap in Mankato MN, who makes Lapro Electric Resonator Guitar's, which sound GREAT!, (*Link Below) he used a Maple Resonator Cone, but having no Maple I opted for what I had on hand :-D
