10/17 reduced price Sapele and Cocobolo appointment sets
I have more spiderwebbed coco, see wed. night posting
Thanks guys!
Hey guys, here is some stuff I put together, I hope some of you can use it. First off...
1 Cocobolo 4 piece back and sides. It measures 7 5/8 lower bout and 6 1/2 upper bout and is thicknessed to 1/8. It was joined with LMI white a year ago and the joint is fine. It will need a little more sanding on the back but will even out easily at .1. Very well quartered across the whole back and sides. Pictured are two sets of sides. The inner is sanded to .06 (Double sides) and is 4 x 30 1/2. The outside is 4 x 34 and is .15. The piece at the top is a cutoff from the board all of these were cut from and it is 4 x 13 3/4 x 3/4. From this you could get headstock, bridge, and wings if you wanted to make it a little wider. If you need a close up of the joints, let me know.
$100 with your choice of sides, $120 for both sets.

Here is another Cocobolo 4 piece back. This has some of the best Coco figure I have seen. It is a little small, but would make a nice parlor. The piece at the top is another cutoff and would easily make wings so this set could be an OM. As it is backs measure 7-5 x 21 x .110 smooth sanded. Sides are 3 15/16 x 35 and .1. The backs of the sides are rough sanded at 80 grit. The extra piece at the top measures 2-3 x 10 x 3/8. Back plates joined with Smith all wood epoxy.

Next up are two matching moonscape Sapele Jumbo size sets. Both are sawn from the same board and are almost exactly the same. Backs and sides also from the same board. They measure 8 3/4 x 23 x 1/8. Sides are 5 1/2 x 37. Also included with each set is a half a back(8 3/4 x 11) and half a side (5 1/2 x 18). With these you should be able to get a rosette blank and a front and back headstock blank. These are not sanded but are thicker than the sanded plates.

only 1 set shown, they are the same.
Next are a lot of appointment sets. Included in each is 1 fingerboard, 1 bridge blank, 1 bookmatched headstock and 1 binding billet. All are perfectly matching and quartersawn. The binding billets are 1 x 1/4 x at least 33. They are quartered on the 1/4 face. I left them whole in case you want to glue up side purfling before slicing them. If you want them sliced, I will do that for you no problem. You should be able to get 6 slices from each.

bridge: 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 x 7/16

Last are two more Cocobolo sets. Off quarter all the way across and less of a perfect match to the binding, though sooo close. Really nice color and figure. A normal size fingerboard with binding will cut out all of the knots
Fingerboard: 3 1/2 x 20
bridge: 3 x 10 x 3/8+
headstock: 7 x 9 x 1/8
binding: 1/4 x 1 x 33

All prices include safe packaging. Actual shipping charges will be added on. I will send USPS for overseas shipments. Domestic will probably be UPS. I have some lightly curly Maccassar ebony appointment sets also, but without bridges. If anyone is interested in those, let me know. I am willing to trade for a couple of things:
-really nice tops
-an electric bending pipe
-a big caliper like Hesh is sellswapping
-Brazilian or dark Madrose binding strips
Thanks!
