Well, I went to pick up the mahogany I purchased and thought I would take some pictures of some of the other wood they got there. All 30% off the hardwoods. Let me know if I can be of some help if you want any of it.

I won't do any processing, but will pick it up and arange to have it shipped if you would like. Send me a PM and I'll see if I can help.

Anyway, enough stalling, I know all you picture hungry folks want to see the goods, so here it is





My little helper is about 32-34" so that should give you an idea of how big that piece of bubinga is.

Rod, I presume it's your little one? That is an absolute precious pic that should end up in her scrap book

Now to bizniz...is that curly bubinga price of $75.00bf before or after the discount? Either way, I just raised my curly bubinga set prices...THANKS!!!

Larry, That's before the discount, I bet it's about 3-5 hands removed and Canadian prices.

Please don't raise your prices, everyone here will kill me (or at least not like me ).

The mottle figure on QS bubinga is pretty standard. It's difficult to not find it, but that curly is way more valuable...around $35.00+bf in many shops. About the same price as pommele or waterfall figure.

I figured a much. All the bubinga they have is the mottled stuff. No
flamey stuff like the nice pics above.

I've never been fond of bubinga as a tonewood anyway so I've only ever
bought one board which I got a few sets from. I just don't like the
feedback I get from the wood itself...John Mayes38839.9803819444

Of course she takes after her mother. The only problem is that her mother doesn't have red hair either.

I just found an amazing board of - I thought it was zebrawood{looked zebra patterned}, he said granadillo - does that make sense to anyone?
anyway it was 13.00 a bd ft, is that a good deal - its realy beautiful 12-14 ft >its figured like those sets of black and white ebony only more white with black stripes - 1 1/2" - 2" thick and looks 1/4sawn{does that make sense with the figure?}
but I really couldnt tell that well the ends were really rough sawn and it was covered in grime, it was dark etc.
Cheers
