What's on your workbench?

I believe Ovangkol is very popular in Germany w/ Warwick basses. I'm a fan.

For sure, I think they use if for necks and fingerboards, even some bodies. I see it mostly used as cheap-er back/sides for acoustics, and fingerboard on cheaper electrics/acoustics.

Nice timber I'll take it over rosewood any day!
