Looks really good!
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

That's right the walnut . They all sound awesome. The cedar slate and the walnut ceramic sound awesome as well

Very nice! I just got my hands on some 120 year old chestnut from a barn in southern Ohio.

Sounds pretty good from what I can tell with the echo.  I prefer a slate over slate or one with a wood soundboard.
