Default body

Looking very nice

I think the original wood used on those bodies was a softwood of some kind ? The Morris Commercial version of that body , the planks are 7/8" thick with a beveled edge on the top side . The wood does shrink a tad over time .

Got any idea of the wood they used originally ? They must have gone through a whole forest of trees to make those GS bodies
