Building one will be way more fast and easy than anything else.

i guess its just a wood thing... i had never been to that local store before and they have over 70 exotic woods to choose from bliss

... so ebony went off my list and i looked at everything they had... i mean i got a slab of quilted maple, enough to make 3 possibly 4 tailpieces for 15 bucks

also was looking into Spanish cedar...

anyway i am sanding the tailpiece into shape right now
