We recently completed a dread out of Paldao that looks extremely similar to your wood. It was very mahogany-like in build and sound. Honestly in many ways it was superior to Honduran Mahogany. We got our set from Steven Roberson of Colonial Tonewoods.

Paldao is a new word for me! My set came from Tom Thiel, retired, who told me where he got it, not that I remember, and that is was "tested" and was genuine Honduran, which I stake my reputation that it is not. It is harder and tighter grained (both ring count and pore size) than any mahogany I've seen, and has a different smell and a different feel under the knife. I expect it to sound like chicken . . . I mean mahogany.

That is BEAUTIFUL
That back is spectacular, and the entire box is beautiful.
Moving at warp speed, too, it seems. Salud Paul

I have noticed that building a spec guitar goes a lot faster than building a commissioned guitar. I can be relatively spontaneous when I don’t have to hit a series of specific requirements. That, and I already had the neck. My method has always been to build the neck to fit the body, and it was an interesting challenge to do the reverse.

No pictures, which I'm sure are great, coming through for me, don't know if it's my computer or what?

I have been told that the Chrome browser has issues with non-HTTPS hosting, which is what I have. If you want to see my pictures, use a mainstream browser like Safari/Firefox/Explorer.

It would be a good idea to get things working on Google Chrome imo, as it is the world's most used browser by a long way (definitely mainstream) - 65.3% of users globally, with the next most popular being Safari, coming in at 17%. Firefox and IE actually only have 5.6% and 4.1% of users respectively. - https://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php |

I am curious: For those of you who are using Chrome, what happens when you go to my website? Do my picture appear there? I host my pictures and my website in the same place, with the same security level. If they show at my site, but not on the forum, then what is the difference?

I'm a Chrome user and I see Bruce's pics both here and on his website. But then, I did the security runaround that was suggested here a few months back. It worked for all the pics here on AGF as there were some others' pics within their posts that I wasn't able to view prior to the fix.

It was posted by an AGF member in this very thread. I will look for it and repost it.
