I came across this renaissance/straight bore flute make by chance on Google, but had never heard of Dancing Stickman flutes. Just curious if anyone else had. Here’s the link:

Havent seen it, but while researching his website I found that his flutes are made from what he calls “Mystery Wood” he explains:
A short time ago I was offered a pile of old fence lumber. It was all about four feet long and about one and one half inches square. At first I thought it was pine or maybe cedar and nearly declined–then I picked up a piece–it was quite hard and very heavy. I brought home the whole pile. Where this timber originated no one knows. I’ve shown it to several different people who know their woods and gotten many different answers as to what kind of tree it came from. Most agree it’s some kind of Rose Wood although one said it was without doubt Teak and another said Black Palm. This stuff has been in the weather for many years so it has several deep splits and nail and staple holes that must be filled in but it turns a beautiful flute with lots of character. I could work around the holes and splits but that would be wasteful. Weathered as it is, this Mystery Wood still contains enough of its natural oils to take on a nice polish. What you wind up with is a lovely instrument with an aged quality about it.
-I wouldnt mess with it personally.
but thats cause I’ve been burned a couple times with shoddy instruments.
I currently have 3 cheap flutes that play horribly out of tune with themselves. If I had put the money I spen on those 3 into one flute, I would have a professionally made hand turned wooden flute.
On that note, I should be receiving said flute this weekend, thanks to Mal Boyd 
Anyway, thats my 2 cents
