For the record, basswood is like the instrument. Base-wood.

And then (as I understand it), pah-Dook. Emphasis second syllable

There's a separate scale for measuring hardness of penises.  :doh:

LOL... I knew I should have said wood instead

I always thought it was like the fish. Meriam-Webster agrees. :icon_smile:

yeah there's no way I'm saying basewood - - I didn't think that was right.

Added Pau Ferro, removed Shedua due to lack of consensus and significance.

I see this is an old thread...but any thoughts on the hardness (or lack thereof) of the black korina. I saw a comment that one owner of black korina could dent it with his fingernail (I am assuming he meant without much effort). This makes me a bit nervous, though honestly most comments I've seen praise the woods great tone qualities...that I like!

Any way to help calm my concerns in this regard?

Thank you.
