"Thanks Korrigan, Pick & Bones", Birthday Gift Build of the Football Team I've followed all my life :-), but "Sadly" after a good start to the season have now fallen into bit of a hole :-(
Thanks 'UJ', the Grey Ironbark and Forest Red Gum are "Native Aussie Woods " from a gifted recycled entertainment unit, and the Hardwood Marine Ply I purchased a while back on a whim, originally had it strung up with lighter strings (32NW-20NW-15PS) and tuned DAd, but it didn't suit the build, changed to NW 46-30-20, and now sounds and plays well with a definite "Oingy Springy" sound to it, has no sound holes at present, but am contemplating putting some in to enhance the spring effect (probably on the sides of the box) :-D

Looks fantastic. You use such exotic (to me) woods. How does it play, sound and SPRING?
