so happy to hear from you all. I hope you are have been well and life has treated you good. I look forward to start making siome nice guitarts now and ill update as soon as i have started. let me also know if you need some woods from here. I just bought some really nice local Mahogany look and feel just like honduran they say its called in latin Toona sureni. but i have no clue if this is that or not. but going by the feel and look its similar in texture and feel to honduran. They had 2 slabs that was many years old they said. 13cm thick 2,5m long. taken from the middle section of the tree so it has much quarter lines to it. SO i am good to go for some necks and back and sides soon , just waiting for the machines :-) ..

Question.. Does anyone have any good knowledge about a wood called Trembesi ? is this wood good for guitars ? amazingly looking wood they have lots of here.

Seems that it's Monkeypod.
Good looking wood, seen it used in quite a few guitars.

wow so nice to hear from you all. I am also honored to see you remember me and my guitars.. gives me big inspiration !! I have missed all of you. Yes i will start soon to build.. I married and moved to my wife in Indonesia. So i am living like in the Jungle here hhh. I am in an Islamd called Lombok. So beautiful here. and so much cool wood to choose from Maccassar ebony, Amara wood Monkeypod (trembesi) and lots of mahogany. Just cut of 2 13cm thick planks with bark still on sides 80cm wide and 2,5m long look and feel like honduran but its local mahogany Guess the price i paid for all this ? .....100USD including cutting them to workable pieces in the mill. (they charged me 6USD for it :-) bliss .

Waiting for a drumsander and have ordered some tools needed..
Does anyone know where i can buy a drawing of a sidebender machine ?

Again so so nice to be back and talk to you all again.
I will try to update with some photos from here as soon as i am up and running..

Lars.
