Okay, I am finally organised. As noted, I take the phrase swap meet literally - would much prefer to trade, but would sell if you can pick up in the Toronto area. For trading, I would like to have some more tops - well quartered with little runout, colour variation is okay, or b/s sets, or miscellaneous small things - make an offer.
Everything is well quartered unless otherwise mentioned.
First off, a set of Buginga, nice sapwood, measures 9x24x0.16 and 33x6x.15 (I estimated the thickness after sanding out the saw marks). Note this has a slight pinhole shown in the photo, however, this is only on one side, if it can't be sanded out then turn the board over.
Next up is a set of Buginga, no sapwood but a fair bit of figure. Measures 8.3x22x.12 and 5x33x.10, this one is already thickness sanded with 80 grit.
Next, a set of African Satinwood (Movingui).
THIS IS NOW SOLD!
10x23.5x.12, the sides vary from 4.6 to 5.2 side, 36 long, .09 thick already thickness sanded. The wood is wiped to highlight the figure. There is a pinhole on each back set that will have to be filled and is shown in the second photo. The small knots showing in the second photo are outside the upper bout (7.25"). There are three small checks that have been stopped with CAat 1.5", still 22" to go.
One set of Honduran Mahogany.
THIS IS NOW SOLD.
8.25x22x.13, sides slope from 4.25 to 5 inches wide, 34 long, .11 thick.
Finally, five fingerboard blanks. From top to bottom, Bocote, Pau Rosa, Cocobolo, Buginga, EIR. The Bocote and EIR are both long enough to make a headplate out of as well. They are all thickness sanded and at least .25 thick except the Bocote is .23 thick, they are are all at least 2.9 wide except the Bocote is 2.75, and the Buginga slopes from 2.9 to 2.2 wide.
Thanks for looking.
