Hi,    Isn't it amazing how under normal times, a bit of knotty wood would get dismissed as unusable in a shop, but then, beauty being in the eye of the beholder, a piece like this manifests itself, and lo, a real good looking instrument begins its life..... a splendid find there if I may hazard an opinion...!!!!   Interested to see a finished result sometime...!!!   I bet those figures will pop out when a finish is applied....!!!
