Thanks! I have been watching a similar set on ebay, this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/370592087921?ss ... 1438.l2648

But it is already much more expensive than the set I bought. It is nice though....and tempting.....
must resist urge to bid....must resist.....

You guys gotta try gettin your hands on some curly mango! Freshly sanded, feels like balsa wood....smells sweet, like a flower garden. Hardens up quite nicely, bends like tinfoil, and you've seen how it finishes.....gorgeuous stuff.
So, my big brother was playing guitar and I figured I'd try it too.

True. It's beautiful wood. I'm a victim of the BRW mystique! Gotta find out for myself!

My wood arrived today and it is MUCH darker than in the pics from ebay. Here are two pics I took:

It looks much better in person, but these pics are way better than the one I posted originally.
