Your usual excellent work Brad!

_________________
The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

The thing about koa is, there’s so many different densities, and grain patterns that it’s all different. At least that’s been my experience .
with that being said these particular pieces, (the middle one was from a different batch) carved like butter -just like Honduran mahogany
