    In my woods....my highest was 4% out of a sugar maple....maybe 1.5-2% out of a red. 9% is unheard of around here. Very cool!

    I've got a mountain banjo made outta red oak but it's clearly red oak unlike whatever I have pictured lol. I'm curious who's making them outta the hybrid oaks? Would like to see one.

    As a banjo player, IF ONLY I could count the number of Deliverance references I get.
