@osceola ahh, Zircote. It’s beautiful!

zircate I think is how you spell it I picked it up off ebay back during the summer I really like the look of it was just waiting to find something to use it on.

@osceola I think it looks killer! You did a great job on that volute too. That fretboard looks awesome as well, what kind of wood is it?

Old money is what we had before VAT was invented. It had to be changed, no one knew how to calculate 17 1/2 % of 6lbs 19s 11d. Don't worry about it, just be ready to convert you're cash to groats whe...
