Ash Rim

I took the liberty of cropping your photo, Richard. Your rim color is beautiful. This ash wood is picked especially for me, cut at the correct 'angle' for bending, and is flawless. It's a shame, the mill workers tell me in 2 years all the standing ash trees in Michigan will be firewood. The Ash Borer bug has wreaked havoc on banjos!!! But for now I'm keeping the lumberjacks in business, trying to aquire all of this wood I can.
