Et al; Having the opportunity to create a paper pattern, due to a passing attack of brain gas, of a set of bass strings...I discovered I was out of heavy brown 'kraft' paper. I went to the local "Paper and Such Shack" and discovered some white butcher paper that was less expensive (.10 cents a roll) than 'kraft' and was stronger also, for the same thickness. I have now made my pattern using this paper and found it much better to work with than 'kraft'. It resists moisture and tearing better than 'kraft' and any guide marks/rubbings show up much better than on 'kraft'. Just thought I would pass this on for anyone else looking for a "lifetime supply" of paper for pattern making. :-) Jim Bryant (FL)
