Here is the other one......and I will fix the title bar when Grant reminds me of the name of this back and side set. Today is my first day with my new brain and I forget! :D This one is also not spoken for and is available for sale and or barter.

Back and side......sounds like GLASS!!

Yup, Dennis is correct. Close your eyes and tap and you will swear you have African blackwood. I got big stacks of billets of this stuff. Looks a lot like Brazilian tulip, a true rosewood.

Thanks! I couldn't for the life of me come up with the name. :D Grant is right....when you tap on this, it is shocking at the glassy solid ring that comes out! :o
