I'm pretty sure you can blame the Hand Made Music series on the DIY channel for the recent popularity of Adi. [/QUOTE]

I've heard about this program, the mandolin people often mention a (series of?) episode(s?) showing Lynn Dudenbostel building a F5. Are there shows about guitar building too, and do they mention red spruce especially? I would have guessed that the ever increasing interest in vintage Martins and Gibsons that had red spruce tops had a lot to do with the recent popularity of this wood too.[/QUOTE]


Yes, Arnt. It's a really good series with Lynn building a vintage looking Martin. He does indeed use red spruce and it starts with them finding the tree and proceeds through the entire build. Very good series of 4 or 5 episodes, I think.

Here's a link to info on it.

Here is a small set I'm working with right now


I love the stripy stuff!

Personally I have no reason to look outside our list of sponsors, we have a great representation of wood vendors here and between all of them I have found almost every thing I have ever needed.

4A Addy is getting harder to find these days and you darn sure will pay for it, but Steve is your man!
