I have posted some sets on my web page that may be of interest. There are three large sets for those of you who want to make a jumbo guitar out of Tiger. There is a subsidised postage offer this week on these Jumbo sets with a maximum shipping of $25 USD. The other three sets are OM size due to the width of the back set, although with an appropriate centre strip they would do quite well for a dreanought.



I have also posted some Fiddleback Eucalypt that is an excellent tonewood at an affordable price of $70.00 USD

Tim,
I've been looking for a flamed set on Queensland Walnut. Ever get those in?

Oh my oh my, that is some of the most beautiful wood I have ever seen. Simply spectacular Tim, thanks for making this incredible wood available to us all.

Even though I live in Australia and have some good contacts of my own in the timber trade, Tiger Myrtle is just not seen for sale anywhere else that I know of, particularly sets of this calibre which have been carefully resawn to best display figure and fit the requirements of the guitar making craft, well done .

Cheers

Kim

Yes Kim, that sort of stuff doesn't grow on trees.

I have heard from a reliable source that Tim may have some Native Olive soon.

This is another Tasmanian timber, very dense and apparently a superb tonewood. Also hard to get hold of.

You'll have to get in line for it behind Dave and I.

Cheers
