Well, I had just finished supper and went outside to return the trash can to the back porch (it was trash pick up day) and to my surprise I found a box on the front porch. It was a nice 3 shelf bookcase (box) BUT I didn't remember ordering it, which was the odd part. It's not surprising though as I seem to be losing more of my memory these days. If anyone finds it please forward it to me.

So, I hoisted the box and headed for the shop. Upon opening the box, I though what a strange looking bookcase. The boards were only about 1/4" thick so this has to be for some very "light" reading

Then I saw the business card .... DICKEY GUITARS ..... and a smile quickly came to my face as I recalled what the rather thin planks are really meant for. Upon close examination, my smile quickly broadened, as I beheld some of the prettiest Pomelle Sapele I had ever held.

Long story short, give Bruce a call or drop him an email if you are in the market for some exceptionally nice Pomelle Sapele. Wood this nice won't last too long!

Thanks again Bruce!

Hey Tim, glad it made it. My wife has that bookshelf in her classroom full of fifth-graders. Treat the Sapele a little like maple, very little water, less heat than rosewood.

I second that emotion!
Bruce sent me some of that fine wood too.
I cannot wait until someone picks it and I can
work with it!
