Just had to tell someone, 'cuz I'm doing this in total isolation. Laboriously salvaging and pulling nails from ancient wood from demolition that would have otherwise just gone to the dump. Redwood from 1890-1940s California, when they unconscionably cut down trees over a millennium old ;_; light as a feather, stronger than steel. Milled ages ago and structurally unfazed. Only a culture beyond salvation would treat this priceless material like trash.
@neotoy you and me both. A local joiner dropped off a door and frame he'd taken out of a house being renovated. It was meant to be firewood, but it's solid mahogany, including the panels, and there's enough for at least 2 guitars, so Nephew gets one as well. It pains me that so much stuff gets thrown away.
