I just received some FABULOUS tonewood from our Bob C. yesterday. Superb highly figured Cocobolo, lovely extra-curly Eucalyptus bindings & a gorgeous Lutz Spruce top. I was so impressed I have to tell somebody who will understand.

This AAAA top's deep tap tone sustains for about a minute! Well, maybe not quite a minute. It's close & even grained & has beautiful cross-grain silking. Very stiff - both along & especially across the grain. I "stole" this top for $45 ... and got a 10% OLF discount to boot.

We're lucky to have great tonewood suppliers like Bob and our other great sponsers here on the OLF. For a mailorder purchase, where you can't personally inspect what you're buying, trust like this goes a long way.

Zootman Rules!


I can't take credit for this pic...I believe it was Michael P. who did this some time ago.

That was back on Halloween a few years ago when Bob dressed up as the Zoot-pimp...
