There are other connotations to "a Brazilian" ... and especially amusing thinking about it being "worked"
?
Why don't the large guitar companies get involved in setting up tonewood plantations?
Sure they may take a l-o-n-g time to generate a yield; but the sooner you start, the sooner you get the return.
One of the best tonewoods for marimba's is an odd wood called Sneeze Wood.
It has two other qualities that led to its demise:
a) It burns with a furious heat - that made it useful for furnaces
b) It's almost indestructible - which made it very useful for fenceposts
Despite growing very easily, it's now endangered.
Wizard thinks: I wonder what tonewoods would grow in the middle of the Karoo where land is plentiful and cheap?
