I got three or four sets last time and unfortunately, I'm on a selfimposed wood budget now .[/QUOTE]

John is on a WAB (wood acquisition budget) which is similar to what I thought a WAS was, but dealt with conditions and mandates placed by a builder's significant other..... [/QUOTE]

Jeanne, that is pretty much the case here. Actually I have enough wood to supply most of OLF for the forseable future.John How38958.6948032407

Thanks again Brock.

Very nice! I like that ribboning in the grain.

And Mr. Poling received in this trade......?????

You can always count on the "Zootman" for great Zoot.
What are you going to make with this nice wood??

walter

Hi Lance!!

I have a set of Master grade Carpathian spruce that is to die for!!
The sister set I used was just outstanding in sound quality! Compared to anything that I have used thus far, it was the best. I never buy junk zoot.
It's yours if you think you would like it for this project.
I'm just not well enough for any guitar making; at least not anytime soon.
regards, walter

Lance

Thats stunning, I hope Brock got something nice in exchange.

[QUOTE=azimmer1] At the rate I am buying zoot.....and
At the rate I am building with zoot.

I might die with an entire forest in my house!!!!!!!!!![/QUOTE]

Andy, if that is the case, know I certainly don't wish ill upon you but just make sure you're doing the Crazy Ritz when ya go!!!

Good one Jeanne, that sure would be a nice way to die!

Lance, what a set, i can't wait to be worthy enough to build with such a fine set!

Serge, mon petit chouchou!!! Votre Jeannie pauvre a eu deux jours tres terribles et tristes. S'il vous plait savoir que votre marque de poste me souris. Merci beaucoup

Serge, you are worthy - grasp the concept, play the concept through your mind over and over. Build the guitar in your mind and let it become you, When the calmness of acceptance settles upon you....DO THE CRAZY RITZ AND GO FOR IT!!   

Are you going to tell us what ?

Or is it top secret

[QUOTE=RussellR] Are you going to tell us what ?

Probably top, bottom, and sides secret!

Let me see if I can attempt to translate...my french is very limited!!!

Serge, my small pet!!! Your poor Jeannie had two very terrible and sad days.
Then something about a little mouse!!!! Thank you very much

Andy - If I may offer a tiny bit of advise...it says there is a zoot-eating mouse in your shop - GET BACK THERE!!


...stick with building guitars!   

Hesh, as another tonewood supplier, I have to say, Bob has a way of finding great wood...and if he's endorsed by other folks who sell wood, that's saying something!

Considering I jumped on getting a set of that, when I have probably a couple dozen sets of flamed mahogany here to sell myself, that's saying something!

It's very hard to find flamed mahogany with this intensity of figure. Grab it while you can.

MY set!

Oh man...I wish I could afford some of that. I just got some wood today from our friends at AC Woods...justs gets me in the mood to want more, especially that great looking zoot!

Hey, Andy, we're pals, right????    You might leave me several sets of coco.    It doesn't grow in the middle of Arkansas. I have a friend here named Andy and he's a doctor too.    I have an uncle named Forest!!    I know a builder named Serge.     You're the best, Andy, old buddy.

Jeanne, votre petit chou est tres heureux de vous faire sourire a chaque occasion qui se presente! (Not sure if i should let the Doc translate this one though! )

I will try to visualize better and RITZ as you say, not much zoot around here but maybe enough for one roll!

Thanks chere amie!

Hesh i agree, if you don't buy it, i got plenty of emoticons for an army!

And Yes, you just gotta love the Zootman! Serge Poirier38959.0325

I have a couple of sets that look a lot like that from Bob too. When will I get a chance to build with it, who knows.

Here is my "zoot of the month", it came in just the other day. From another of the forum's sponsors, Steve at Colonial, here are two sets of Ziricote and two sets of Mac Ebony. Matching sides and headplates are not pictured, but they are equally nice.
