They are called "Newton Woods" in Fresno, CA |

They are called "Newton Woods" in Fresno, CA | I've used Newton Woods before, as a matter of fact RedLeg chose this top out of three, the two others were Newtons. I can look at the Newton website for hours, prettys soon all of that Buckeye they've got starts looking the same, or prehaps its just my eyes getting blurry!

After scotty showed me his idea for the back, I knew I should go with his eye for detail. freakin artist, man! |

So I had to lower it to avoid causing problems with the glue joint and while shaping
