  That's what I have been looking for to make tone boards out of. If you don't mind could you pm me some info on that material?

 Thanks,  Ron

Hi Steve, no sir not really selling em right now, just making a complete call once in a while.

Mad, the idea is to have a solid place to mount the toneboard/wedge, almost like a goosegut bushing. I dont like to stick a toneboard and wedge into plain wood, it will eventually get loose from wear or wood movement.  It may look a little different, but its a clean, solid system.

Looking real good, that blackwood looks great. :bigup:

Is this toneboard a prototype for Cronk? :clap:  I am sure he will be pleased with it.
