In Response To: Material: Art Questions? (Mike Rath)

Mike,

How about Holy? It's a very white wood, one of the brightest you can get I think. Also has a pretty tight grain if I remember correctly. I think it's pretty expensive and hard to come by in longer boards though. Call up your local lumber yard (not home depot, but a specialty kinda place - where the boards are sold rough cut) and ask them to recommend something.

I'd also be interested in hearing something about that Phase3 Seat myself. Was thinking of buying one of those as well.

Good luck.
