Cool link with wood info!

Just kind of cool seeing all the different woods that are out there..

I know most of them would be absolutely useless on any instrument... but look cool...

Yep, different woods are interesting study. Many "bass makers" out there making basses with furniture wood (because it looks good). Be careful not to fall into that category. Furniture wood may look good, but the bass probably sounds like crap.
