Basswood. Is it bass like the fish, or bass like a stringed instrument? I've heard both.

FISH

Fish, unless it's used to make a bass, then it's basswood.

Dr.1

Maybe it was a tree discovered by Joseph Bass.

Is a poplar more like the "pop" of a popgun or someone's dad?

Is chestnut more like a cabinet or Dolly Parton?

Is Hemlock more like the bottom of a skirt or from inaction?

Is Hickory more like a muscle spasm or a NASCAR fan?

I'm down with Dolly...
