more interesting mail
About 3 hours after Yuki’s package arrived, a package came fed ex from VT. Um err uuh 1925 2.5 dollar Indian head Quarter Eagles and really old looking Brazilian rosewood. These rosewood pieces have been stickered since the early ‘60’s and were cut from an old log, so it’s legal… and it was sent to me, I didn’t purchase it. So, hopefully I’m off the hook for having the stuff in my shop. I’m guessing that the two coins and the pieces of rosewood are of equal value to the instrument I’m using these on. It is going to be an all cherry 20L with the rosewood on the headstock and as a rim cap. The peghead will be a slothead with the rosewood faceplate and the two gold coins inlayed front and back. Yep, those coins are pure gold, there’s gold in them there banjos!
