Hi.
Just found this site recently and is really helpful, have bin checking out lots of posts and lots of impressive work! I live on the northern side of Perth so its good to find lots of local info on timbers etc.. This is my second third and fourth build. The one with the black hardware i gave to my Dad for his 70th. The body's are camphor laurel and WA sheoak for the necks i milled a couple years ago from the bush behind my place (fallen from a fire).
I did a banksia cone inlay on the headstocks. They both play and sound really nice, really like the camphor laurel, they are quite light aswell. I built my first body from sheoak and it is very heavy, I've found it very nice for necks and fretboards but i dont have anything else to compare it to. In the process of building another strat style guitar at the moment.
