I am continually amazed at how valuable the OLF is and how generous suppliers and experienced luthiers are in giving of their time and talents. I have to mention my recent experience with Steve Roberson of Colonial Tonewoods (I really hope he doesn't mind)! Last week I posted a picture of a guitar I built for my son - the top basically imploded because of my lack of experience and knowledge. This guitar was special because my son and I flew up to Williamsburg to visit Steve and select the woods. Steve graciously and patiently showed us tonewoods from his extensive inventory. My son selected a beautiful set of Ziricote and a beautiful Sitka Spruce top. Well yesterday FedEx delivered a surprise Sitka Spruce top from Colonial - even nicer than the original one. My son and I are overwhelmed with this extremely generous gesture. Thank you Steve and thank you OLF for fostering such a wonderful environment. |

Steve is awesome. I bought the materials for my 1st and 2nd (still working on the first  ) from him. He answered all my questions and gave me some tips. He's a first class guy.

Steve is top shelf. He has really taken super good care of me in the past... And his BRW sets are just awesome. |

Hey Hesh thanks for the image bro, it's plain to see that not only is Steve a fantastic wood vendor, he is also a devilishly attractive looking fellow as well. Who'd a thunk it 
Cheers Kim |

[QUOTE=Hesh1956] Yep Steve is a class guy and he has always been very helpful to me. His BRW is second to none. On the first scratch build that I ever did Steve offered to thickness sand my top for me since I did not have a drum sander yet. When I have needed special consideration like color matches, etc. Steve has gone above and beyond over and over for me. He is a very fine example of a guy/sponsor who genuinely cares about the success of his clients. Ordering from Steve is so easy even a caveman can do it....... 
[/QUOTE] I think that is my photo that I took of Steve on my trip out there in June. He looks pretty disgusted waiting for me to pick out my wood. Actually, he was clean shaven when I started looking.

Come to think of it, I remember seeing a couple of leg bones.  I just figured they were for nuts and saddles.
A highlight of my summer, meeting Steve.
