Anyone ever tried to use tiger wood as a paddle? I've got some inbound I was gonna try over butternut or limba. Just curious if anyone has tried to make a lid out of if.
When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep... just like my grandfather. Not screaming, like the people in his car.

If you're referring to Goncalo Alves, also know as tigerwood; I just tried some. Didn't care for it at all. It has a ringing type sound, almost metallic. Tried it on numerous short boxes and long boxes. Just didn't work for me. May not be the same wood you're talking about, not sure. Guess I've got a lot of scratch box material now.  :icon_thumright:

Yeah, I got Gonçalo alves. Hate to hear that.

 Hopefully you get better results than I did. It just didn't work for me. Good luck, hope it works out for you.  :icon_thumright:
