What's wrong with dreads? Right up there with the washtub bass?

Thanks everyone! Yeah I'm enjoying playing this larger guitar, nice change.
JJ Donohue made me a tracing from the drawing he got from John Hall at bluescreek. JJ did a thread on here building a 12 string using this plan which I loved. Send me a pm with address and I'll make a tracing for you. Passing it on.
And Tim, I gotta saw I'm enjoying this dread a lot more than the washtub bass I built.

Hey Joe,
That is just a tasty looking axe.
I really enjoy the head stock look. Could you tell me, what is the thickness on the fish paper? I have looked for fish paper on the web, but all I seem to find is the gray color.
I have to agree with the old time look. Just like it's new on the shelf, except it's 1935!

Thanks Mark, I just went and mic'd a scrap of my fish paper and it measures around .023", I'm just about out so I need to source some also, haven't started looking for it yet. Let me know if you find a good source.
