I'll start with these binding cutters. One set from StewMac, one from LMI. Note the bearings are not interchangable between the sets. I've gone to a different system. I'm not sure exactly how many guitars I've done with each, but it is no more than 3 or 4 for each set. Stewmac set: $40 [SOLD] (note this sets has 4 bearings - one is on the cutter) ![]() LMI set: $80 [SOLD] ![]() This is the LMI classic tuner drill jig. It requires a 13/32 drill bit (not included), and provides the proper spacing for classical tuners. $20 (SOLD) ![]() Brazilian bridge blanks, sized for steel string. Bought these 2+ years ago from Allied, but they are just a tad short for classical, plus I waste almost half the wood. These are gorgeous, with plenty of black lines. ALL SOLD ![]() Here is a bridge made from this wood that has been incompletely french polished. It'll get prettier. ![]() Okay, this is a Mad Rose set suitable for a parlor or classical. There's not a lot of room to work with, though. Each piece is around 3 3/4 across, but the edges are not straight, and they have not been jointed yet. I would guess tight but doable for a Hauser guitar, and room to spare for a parlor. Length is 30 3/4. I really like this set, so no bargain here. $200. (Bought this set from John Mayes a few years ago, so you know it's been stored in humidity controlled conditions for a number of years) ![]() Here's a set of Ambroisa Maple which I bought from BobC. I realized that as a classical builder, this is just probably not going sell easily in that market. Included is a complete set of bloodwood binding with white/black purfling, black/bloodwood/black purfling, and a bloodwood centerstrip bound with white/black purfling. back 8 1/2 x 22, sides 5+ x 32. $50 for all. [SOLD] ![]() Koa. Why am I selling this? I don't know. It's gorgeous. Not terribly flamey, but the colors will make you suck in your breath when you see it in person. Back is 8 1/2 x 24, sides are 5 1/4 x 33. $250 Free shipping. ![]() Koa. This is a set for those who like their flames. 8 3/4 x 22 for the back. Sides taper from 6 1/4 width to 4 1/4 width x 33 long. $300 Free shipping. ![]() I have 2 sets (1 SOLD) of lacewood. Back is 8 x 21 1/2, sides are 4 5/8 x 36. $50 each. ![]() 1 set of Sycamore. Sized for classical. Had trouble photographing this one, so I added a closeup. The full shot indicates the color better than the closeup, however. $50 ![]() 1 set Bearclaw Sitka. One grade off from master. 8 3/4 x 22. $50. ![]() Imbuia. From our own BobC. Hope I'm not annoying him by selling wood I got from him, but I'm just trying to clear out stuff I'm unlikely to make into a classical. I'll just spend my proceed with him eventually anyway :) This is a "wavey" set. Look at the next set to see what these will look like under finish. Back 8 3/8 x 22, sides 5 3/8 x 30 3/4. $70[SOLD] ![]() This is a blistered set. It won't hurt my feelings if this set doesn't sell; it's nice. Both sides have a tight knot hole which will have to be filled. These have a wash coat of shellac on them - unfinished color is the same as the set above. Back is 9 x 23 (measured at wide part of lower bout, wood is over 10" at the widest), sides are 5 1/2 x 32 1/2 $80 [SOLD] ![]() 5 sets Carpathian Spruce. More wood from BobC. He's going to kill me. However, I built a classical from this wood, and don't feel it's suited for my method of building. Great for SS, of course. I don't know how to grade it except to say 1 level below Masters. Excuse the photo, I left the wood wrapped in it's plastic. $50 per. ![]() 1 set uncurly Koa. $120 [KOA003] Back 8 1/4 x 22 Sides 4 5/8 x 32 1/2 . ![]() 1 set very lightly flamed Koa $120 [KOA004] Back 7 3/4 x 22 Side 4 5/8 x 32 1/2 ![]() 3 sets moderately flamed Koa $200 per set. Free shipping. [KOA35] Back 8.5x23.5 Side 5.5x35 ![]() [KOA36] Back 8.5x23.5 Side 5.5x35 ![]() [KOA42] Back 8.5x23.5 Side 5.5x35 ![]() AAA Engelmann spruce. Classical size. I don't have a count yet, but probably around 20 sets. These mostly came from Larry Stamm or Ed Dicks. $25 a set. Oh, I also have a Ribbeke style binding cutting fixture that I got from John at Blues Creek a few years ago. I've moved to a system where you move the router, so this could be for sale. Make an offer. I want to keep the carriage that holds the guitar, and the router needs to be replaced because the bearings are bad ($20 at harbor freight), so it'll go for pretty cheap. |

Hi Roger, I will take the classical tuner drill jig. I use the same jig and the one that routs the slots but can always use another. Please send me a private message. Thanks, Shawn |

Roger...nice Ambrosia Maple...I have a few sets in my stash so I dont need another but just wanted to comment that while it would be tough to sell for a classical, because it is light colored it may be just right for a flamenco. I build about 3 flamenco for every 7 classical and flamenco players are both more tolerant of things outside of the norm but also can be a little more flamboyant (think of the flamenco "rock star" combo of Tomatito and Camaron). Lately I have had success selling flamenco's that were Myrtle with a Port Orford Cedar (Lawson Cypress) top and have built a number of flamed maple so a flamenco doesnt have to be cypress to be a blanca. I will keep an eye out for other items and to hear from you. |

What would the shipping be for the ambrosia set with extras to 15147? |
Author: | rlabbe [ Thu Jul 13, 2006 10:27 pm ] |
Post subject: | |
af_one, the USPS calculator says 5.60 for priority mail. Note I just guessed on the weight of the packing material. An extra pound would take it up to 6.15. |

Hey Roger.... Do you still have the Ambrosia Maple? |
Author: | rlabbe [ Thu Jul 13, 2006 10:38 pm ] |
Post subject: | |
Oh, to roughly calculate the postage. I'm shipping from zipcode 22307. The lacewood, a heavy set, is 3lbs 7oz. Things like koa will be lighter. Add in a pound or two for packing. The USPS website has a calculator. I'll happily calculate shipping for anyone, and give you the weights on anything you want, but until I get things packed up it's as much a guess for me as for you. |
