Nice reference Peter, and for once, one of these talks about the woods in an acoustic guitar build, and solid guitar builds. I had to laugh, that they listed Mesquite, surely the most aggravating, impossible to mill wood God Almighty ever made. Being from Texas, it's often considered a great nuisance in cattle country, and no wonder it's cut down for BBQ, although I way prefer to use pecan or hickory or cherry: Mesquite can get quite sharp-tasting in long-smoke-time cooks. But then again, if your mesquite guitar build finally gets on your last nerve, you can always grill it ! J o e y |

I've always been of the opinion that mesquite is best when restricted to grilling. It also needs to be used with stronger flavored meats like beef and lamb. Keith |

Seems like I've asked this before, but what is 'wormwood'? But more importantly, red-bean wood sounds best when paired with rice, preferably with cornbread binding. J o e y |

Pete , in some circumstances __ delayed " Sub Harmonic Ghost Tones" could be creative", Just like a comet suddenly appearing in the sky in the middle of a great space jam ! Joey , I think that your setup advice is the best & stellar as always ;__" red-bean wood sounds best when paired with rice, preferably with cornbread binding. " Wolf |

We have wormwood growing at home: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemisia_absinthium Haven't tried harvesting the thujone from it. That is the 'magic stuff' in true absinthe. It smell is delicious. It also is VERY prolific; last year we failed to deadhead it and it is popping up everywhere (much to our neighbors dismay). |
