Nice work...whats kind of wood is it??

sean brechin # 26. November 2009, 12:43

Thanks

Well..... we get told it's mahogany and i think this might actually be mahogany. If it is, then it will likely be Honduras mahogany. If not, then it's likely to be sapele from tropical Africa, probably the Congo..... But, as it is reclaimed timber that I got from some old windows I can't be too sure.

Mango wood.... Never seen that before.... I'll google it

Google knows everything..

Yup... Google is good for most things... Just last night i was reading about "codex alimentarius" being introduced in Thailand... they are banning production of certain herbs and spices like ginger and tumeric... codex alimentarius is a scary thing... they are banning nutrients and reclassifying them as toxins.

I'm guessing you have not heard of this.... The mainstream media says nothing about it.

Well, let talk about force something down someone's throat...Thailand,itself not ready for world civilization nor even under-developed yet..Ppl have been betray own instinct country ignored Thai capacity, economic, population's abilities n capacities and ETC...Forced self to the world acceptance.. blind true land values.Our educational relies on American standard. Health consumption is lacked interests in a new generation,thats so true..specially PpL in BKK..Big city life,rush n raft. non delicate n far beyond of well being instinct.Sad but true..

I think the same can be said for most of the planet.

Im not dared to cross that deep, doesn't mean I don't care but sometimes we need to let them on their own experience..Now its time that the World recall what ppl have done to the world..as I always say..you get what you give..what you eat what you are..Back to nature thats might be greater idea for me..

sean brechin # 26. November 2009, 14:32

Back to nature is a good idea.... I think we can have a good balance between technology/modern ideas and nature... Being at one with nature makes me feel alive.

Solid Angelic # 26. November 2009, 14:42

sean brechin # 26. November 2009, 15:46

Animals, trees, mountains, the sea, outer space.... I love it

Ha ha... women can be nature too
