Does anyone have a source for pieces to cut African Blackwood binding from. One board or several smaller boards will work. Thanks in advance for any leads. All the best, Kevin Gallagher/Omega Guitars |

I don't know what you're looking for Kevin but you might try "at the source" with these people http://www.prosono.co.za/en/african_blackwood.shtml They came up with a search for bag pipe wood suppliers. High end bag pipes are made from African Blackwood. Might want to try http://www.gibsonpipes.com/ as a local maker, they may have some material they mights sell. Nice name hey?

All the best, Kevin Gallagher/Omega Guitars I had some but I gave it to Mich Matsushida. I'll look again..I may still have some offcuts....I doubt it though. |
