"Thanks Doug" had never heard of a Wood called Paulownia, until I stumbled across it at my local Hardware Store in the Craft Section, looked great, a little expensive for this usually Cheap Skate CBG Builder, but I couldn't help myself, and ended up walking with a few pieces :-D
Gorgeous wood on this one Alan! The sound holes look cool too. A sweet build...
