I am looking for a source for Harp Guitar back and sides. Rosewood or walnut would be nice. Back is 2 piece 9" X 35" and 2 sides 4.5" X 44". I have been building for some time but this is only my second HG. These sizes are not advertised anywhere that I can find. Can you guys help point me in the right direction?

I haven't bought any HG woods yet, but I will be sooner or later. I've only found two places for back/side sets. http://www.harpguitarmusic.com/listings/wood.htm, which has some amazing curly walnut, and Grant Goltz at the luthiercom forum. He has a thread there with some stuff for sale http://www.luthiercom.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=535. I think I'll do my first one with one of those monkeypod sets. He has an awesome cocobolo set, and is cutting some Honduran RW regular guitar sets. I'll ask if he can cut some harp guitar sets for us while he's at it :)
