When I visited the farm they had taken down an old Apple tree that was right next to the family farmhouse. Well, of course, I picked up some of that tree and am also using it on the headstock and sound port.

I love a good homage to a client, especially one with such a long history.

If anyone has any, it would be Ray Kraut. I've seen pictures of him with loads of it on a trailer. Weather or not it's suitable for back and sides is another question.
