The solid wood body is a type of mahogany salvaged about 20 years ago from a project to replace the treads on a bridge over a local railway station. Stored outside ever since. Other materials are a brass drawer pull handle, an old bicycle spanner with nut and bolt welded on, a piece of rusted enamel advertising sign, old wing nut knobs, an old pipe tobacco tin tobacco tin lid and a guitar neck from an old guitar.
