What Tom cannot really know is that this B'wood would be unlikely to be confused with Koa by any knowledgeable person that handled it as is is amazingly dense. I have great expectations for this set. It was harvested in NSW (North South West?), Australia by luthier Tim O'Dea who sold it to me about 20 years ago. Tim told me, if memory serves (and I believe it does), that he had a day job clearing power line slash and got a lot of great timbers such as this as a by product. If only PG&E were so diligent here in California. . .
