Which state does he cut in? Adi cutters can be secretive. Any recommends from builders?

I was going to get some low end $35.oo tops from Adirondakspruce.com. -Anyone comment on these guys at that price? my last set of adi bracewood was about as stiff as the sitka. Is that normal? I could tell the engleman was alot looser.

Up until recently, I've used Adirondackspruce.com for adi. They are a great supplier.

Lately I have been buying Adi from RC Tonewoods. Bob has a large selection of product and some of the stiffest sets I have ever felt. As always, you can never go wrong with products from "The Zootman"...and he has been an OLF sponsor since day one!

As Mike states, it's cut in the Adirondacks, where they make Adirondack spruce

Thanks Terry !

I've saw a variety of his woods last fall.
That selection was very nice.

If you go to http://www.luth.org and search his name you'll find he did a story on how he selects and cuts his wood.
It was 2 or 3 years ago!

I see many makers wanting this wood ;that's why I'm alerting you all about him!
Mike
