Default When Wood Sings

Charlie,

Thanks for the info and the links.

You have a nice enjoyable website there and I enjoyed reading the
article.

I too know how that wood talks, sings, and gently whispers in the
night .. sometimes we all may talk back to it... who cares if they
think he's a little off?...LOL

Hi Charlie,

I wonder if you could explain how you made the hair sticks and how
they are used or if you know of a website where it is explained.

I know a couple teenage girls I would like to make some for as a gift.
I could make them bit I dont know how to tell them they are used.

Oh.. and it's when you start singing back to the wood is the time to
worry! *S*

Thanks

Bertie



You've seen women with long hair twist their hair up and stick a
pencil in it to hold it in place. Same function, just a little
more interesting.

As for singing to the wood - THAT would be crazy. Whistling
on the other hand seems appreciated by most woods.


Here's the conversations with wood I referred to -
with TWO pictures of Mae West Maple - the full
figured board.
