Hey all! First time posting here. Been reading for a while but decided to get involved!
I need some help figuring out what kind of shell I have here. It’s a 64 Niles slingerland in what looks to me like Mahogany. I really can’t figure out if this is considered...a solid shell? A 2 ply?
It seems pretty clear to me that there is 2 layers of wood. The outer layer is mahogany?...but then there’s a very thin layer of something inbetween the mohagany and the reinforcement ring. You can see it in the photo clearly.
However, I am having a hard time finding anything about 6 lug 60’s slingerlands that weren’t a solid shell or 3 ply. I don’t think I would consider this 3 ply because it seems pretty clear there are only 2 strips of wood (minus the reinforcement ring). Also, the outer mahogany is much thicker (about 1/8”) than the thinner strip (about 1/32”).
Any ideas?
I have solid shells and ply shells and have been dissecting them all trying to figure this out myself!
Thanks for the help.
