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!

Thanks Terry ! [clap]

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!
