I have two pieces of Mahogany 4" x 1 3/8" x 10' that I would like to trade to someone in exchage for cutting the binding channels for a dreadnaught. I'm in Torrance and can deliver the wood to you. I really don't have the tools to do the binding so if you have tools and experience let me know if you would like to trade.

Sounds like a deal for someone. He Torrance is where I got left on the beach fifty-two years ago.

My family tried it again at the zoo a few days later, but I found them again!

Good luck on the trade. Luthiers abound in your area, surely one of 'em needs some good neck wood.

Plan a weekend at Lake Taho, drop it off on the way and pick it up on the trip home. Closer than Arkansas!

San Diego, he's in Torrance, man.

I wish I were in either place.

I love California.

Hey Hank, I'm on my way. First I gotta stop off in Okie City and buy you some ten foot pieces of mahogany!

Philip,
I just got back from the beach and saw this.

I'm in Murrieta. If you want to come here - no payment required.
I might be closer than Andy, but He has a much nicer view.
Do you have your bindings bent? It would be nice to check them before you leave. What about purfling? Do you need a cut for that also.

Guys, you just prove how great the OLF and its members are. Your kindness is appreciated. I have been off line since last Friday and have just got back on today. I really missed my internet.

Andy thank you so much for your offer. I would love to meet you and see your beautiful guitars in person. However, I think I will take Steve up on his offer. I can visit Steve and at the same time drop my wife and my sister off at one of the local casinos they like and that way I can make everyone happy.

Steve, Thank you for your offer. I need to close the box and I will contact you at that time. I am looking forward to meeting you since I was out of town when the get together took place.

Thank you all

Philip
