I switched bird names! LOL So, lemme re-ask.. has Alembic ever made an instrument with *Canary* Wood? I have a beautiful piece here that I am turning on a lathe into magic wands, and it got me thinking.. Oh, and it's nothing against Cardinalwood.. I agree, it is gorgeous in it's own right. --J elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 1037 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, April 11, 2010 - 7:19 pm:    Here's one. bigredbass Senior Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 1377 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Monday, April 12, 2010 - 10:15 am:    I know I must have asked this before, but I can't remember exactly when or the answer, so here goes: Is there such a thing as 'wormwood' mentioned in the Bible, and what's it called in these modern times?

And, as we all know, absinthe makes the heart grow fonder. groooooaaaannnnnn! lol Bill, tgo keith_h Moderator Username: keith_h Post Number: 1595 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Monday, April 12, 2010 - 12:41 pm:    Rimshot davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 9222 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, April 12, 2010 - 2:14 pm:    Are they real magic wands, or just replicas? davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 9223 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, April 12, 2010 - 2:19 pm:    Wiki says that Wormwood is in the Book of Revelations and is the name of a star. Wiki also references "various plants of the genus Artemisia but commonly Artemisia absinthium, also called grande wormwood or absinthe wormwood". trekster Intermediate Member Username: trekster Post Number: 160 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Monday, April 12, 2010 - 2:24 pm:    Dave -- depends on the purchaser/user! I make no guarantees.
