I have more of this wood than I need. You may recognize it, it's well figured pomele Sapele. I will sell three sets of this wood today if anyone is interested. $99.95 a set, plus shipping, sales tax if you live in Arkansas. Email me at bdickey (at) cswnet.com I want to keep it all, but you know what that would make me..... the wood seems very stable after cutting and sanding, and as you can see, it's desirable wood.





Careful use of this piece will give a Dred size guitar.

Nope, but I didn't trust myself, so I ran it by Bob for his zoot approval. I cranked up the old Laguna today, followed by the General and a couple passes on the Atlas to true the inner edge. The taper gives 15 3/8 on one end to 15 3/4 on the other 22 inches, so it will make a dred especially if it gets a zig zag marquetry, my favorite. I got three identical sets, all sides sanded clear, free of defects! I'll leave the other sets full size.

I am selling some, because my wife said to. Strike that last remark.....

Thanks Bob, I mean Woody, I mean Zoot Man... There is a lot of work involved processing this wood. Which makes you respect fine tonewood, cause it doesn't come easy. Of course nothing worth having usually comes easy. Zoot Jr.
