That sounds like a contender. How practical though I am unsure. I understand that specialist expertise and equipment is required in order to work with it.It reminds me of the fabulous Lockheed SR-71 ( Blackbird) which had an airframe of which 85% was made of titianium. Lockheed had to develop special techniques of fabrication and I recall that even so it still leaked fuel.

and that was by design :).

Whilst I respect your patriotism I can't accept that the leaking was " by design". It was simply an acceptance of the physics because there was no solution to the great expansion of titanium from cold to the extreme temperatures experienced by the SR -17 at full flight speed.
If it had been " by design" the world would be now full of leaking aircraft :-)
but the leak was a design compromise. They also used gel fuel to minimize leakage while on the ground. Very interesting challenges . Another interesting machine was the X-15. it is more about me being a geek than a patriot.
dee
;-D

I don't believe ebony is illegal. It is still eidely used for making instruments. My understanding is only Madagascar ebony is endangered and not to be imported. All others are okay for use. Today most ebony is imported from Indonesia.
Friend's LP12 plinth. Beautiful and one of the best soudning plinth I have heard.
I so wanted the same plinth but Woodsong could not source the same wood any more.
But he found this one: figured gaboon ebony, IIRC.
Density and weight are about the same as my friend's madagascar ebony. Heaviest Sondek plinth I have encountered.
Yes, I think you are correct.
