Rockin the Bayou

That is Shelby...and he lives right down the road from me. No kidding...he has several great boats at the landing and a big red barge parked down the river a bit. Yeah...there are all kinds of wood out here in the swamp. I was just telling someone yesterday that I wanted to make a couple of three-ply necks made from Cypress with Walnut in the center. I AM going to do that. I could use Fat-Pine, but I am not sure it's rigid enough for what I want as it is very sappy. Even the 100 year old stuff you find out in the swamp that has been submerged for an unknown period of time. It looks beautiful... and it's EVERYWHERE out here in the swamp. We use it to light fires with because it is extremely flammable even right out of the water, you can cut a sliver off and it will light right up.
