It actually says '2 x 4 challenge'. That is pretty unequivocal I think. It's not a 'pallet build' challenge though we ought to do that next year or any other. The whole point of my proposal is you get out there, hunt down a suitable piece of lumber from a general lumber suppliers and make something out of it. It's open to all comers and is not a beauty/skill contest. Honestly folks, it's meant to be fun, not a competition to see who can select the best luthier grade stick from a pile of rubbish and create a $3000 piece from it! I cannot for the life of me understand why this simple idea needs to be embellished and made more complicated. And quite frankly, I much rather believe Ken who has empirically tested 'toasted wood' than someone with a mere opinion... Now I'll get back to work on a $2000 baritone ukulele and save my energies for the more testing build - 'The 2 x 4 Ukulele Challenge'!
