Members sixgunner455 Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 Osage is pretty dense. Should be a nice piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members S~R~O Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 Now that's what I would call a real Woody.......... Have you heard how they sound yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Not For Hire Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 I would love to know what that sounds like..........I just busted one of my good glass slides last night, it fell on the brick fireplace hearth.........bet that wouldn't happen to a wood slide. Maybe post a recording if you can?Purdy Pleeze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brahmz118 Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 I play with these until I lose one, then the remaining one becomes my slide. They do get scratched up pretty easily though. So I try to use them on nylon string guitars. I've also used a cowbell as a slide. And sometimes I cut the longest chime off a set of wind chimes and use that. I tried a pen once and it didn't work.

Members DeepEnd Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 I know! If the chain or cord breaks and you lose one nunchuck, keep the other and use it for slide! Seriously, let us know what you think, maybe post a clip or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members totamus Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hey, I've got a piece of a shotgun barrel too! slide huh? hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seagullplayer77 Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 Only in TX! My thoughts exactly :-). Though, if you've got a shotgun barrel that you're using as a slide, that must mean that you also have a shotgun with a barrel that's shorter than it should be. Which is illegal, by the way .

Just because the barrel is shorter than it was when it was born with doesn't make it illegal. U.S. minimum length is 18". Most field guns are born with barrels of 26-28". Plenty of room to make a slide, if you really want one made of barrel steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike_E_McGee Posted June 10, 2009 Members Share Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks for the tip, I'm totally getting one or two. I've always used www.diamondbottlenecks.com and have been very happy with the "ultimates". He'll do any interior and exterior diameters, tapers, etc, and works in .5mm increments. While they'll always be my glass guys... I NEED A WOODY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
