Yes, this diddley bow is pretty heavy (from red oak) and designed for lap-style playing. It's level on the bottom side and the action is quite high, so that you can move the slide without contacting your legs, a stand, or a table top, etc. The "fretless fret board" is 1/4" x 1.5" red oak that attaches to the base with two screws, allowing you to switch between multiple "scale boards" by swapping scale boards and repositioning the floating bridge.

Really like this, Jerry! Cool sound holes. Neck looks a bit wide - do you play this lap style?
Very nice looking guitars Jerry,
