Official Luthiers Forum!

I haven't checked in here in a while. Wow! Nice new forum.

Do anyone know a source for grafted walnut like Taylor uses? I love that stuff. BobC or other tonewood suppliers, I would love to find some of this on your website(s) someday.

Scott,

You can take a look here: www.alliedlutherie.com/walnut.htm

Might just be what you're looking for! :)

Hey! cut that out! That stuff is gorgeous...I just got done paying for my last BoBC order and you find this! Oh well the kids don't realy need shoes all that bad...

Thanks Russ. Their English Marbled Walnut looks like the stuff. Only problem I have with Allied's website is that I can't look at photos of the actuall set I'm buying

The guys at Allied are pretty helpful...maybe if you give them a call, they might be able to shoot some digipics of the wood for your perusal...I have never asked them to do this, but it might be worth a try!
