Haha thanks Ricardo

Have expected a reaction of that sort. At least there is one...

But seriously what do you guys make out of something like this?

I mean if it would be accompanied with pictures of the tree and the wood plus some information about its use and propperties i would applaud too.

Don´t want to kick nobodys butt here

Should only be a feedback.

Hope that is allowed here.

I don’t know, I found it interesting to learn that apparently no trees grow in Canada, at least according to the chart.

But the chart is useful if you are filling out export forms and have to list each wood species found in the instrument by its botanical name. He was trying to be helpful.

I never knew that redwood was a sequoia kind. Searched for it and learned that there is also a Sea-sequoia kind.
The trees do not grow normally in europe.

Also i found out that near our border in Germany there is a big Sequoia park, an opportunaty to se such powerfull trees for myself.
Facinating for me, that a guitar from Ariza 1987 Granada that i own has a top like that....

So, you see, what is unusefull Is for one, can be facinating for another.

Anybody who can memorize all of these trees and make a video and tell them all without cheating, gets a free andalusian professor guitar from me.

If I make a powerpoint style video with all the names on screen appearing one by one and pay for shipping, am I eligible?
