Two of Dan's kits. Rhodium dressed in Yew. And a gunmetal dressed in Umguzi.
Both with a polish and carnuba wax finish. But most importantly, neither even remotely suspect regarding quality. :thumbs:

Lovely pair there Brody, and I bet not many men say that to you :funny:

Very nice, I've not heard of Umguzi before.

It was also known as Rodesian redwood. Turns like Bocote and weighs a ton. It takes a finish without much effort :thumbs:
