Bob Cefalu donated a very pretty set of Lacewood for our auctions. This stuff builds very beautiful guitars. I included a couple of pics from one of John Mayes' recent creations for inspiration (hope you don't mind John). Good luck. The auction ends Wednesday @ noon.

Brock Don has very thin skin and gets slivers very easily. 
Just kidding Don. You do get a lot of slivers haddling this wood if your not careful but it's worth it. It's fantastic tonewood and makes a lovely guitar as John Mayes beauty verifies. |

What are the dimensions on these? I was planning on rosewood back and sides for my ABG project but I have always admired nice Lacewood! |

$40. Can someone tell me about lace wood in terms of tone? I suspect it is somewhere between rosewood and mahogany like all other woods.
Kind of like when asking what some strange meat takes like - the answer is always it tastes like chicken.

John Greven describes it as imparting the tone of a well-aged Martin mahogany guitar to a brand-new instrument. Sounds good to me.
