"Thanks Doug", Cigar Box Guitar Addicts like me, see everything and anything as potential CBG build materials. ;-D
That’s too kool, all I ever see in the states is particle board furniture!

You are on it AGP! It’s all about vision, and you can see better than most. It’s only a matter of time till I can say “well played”!
