hmm i didnt think it would sound liek anything..i thought the glue would mess it up...howd you go about that just get 2 pieces of diffrent wood glue them to make on the size of your normal starting piece and turn it?? what kind of glue did you use? or did u use epoxy or what?? thats surprising they sound the same...2 woods should sound a shade diffrent....man i wish i had a lathe..its a pain to use a pocket knife...but i still got 2 that sound....ok i guess...better than the ones that came with my calls and they are made by my hands so i love them lol
