Are all of those going to get turned into sets? Or will you have necks and solid body blanks as well?

Brock if I have any neck blanks it will be 1" x 3" stock.
No body blanks yet but I will have some. If there is any interest in the 1" neck stock then I will cut some.

Looks like the Resaw King blades are going to get a workout. Hey Bob, if that's too much work for you, I can come up and umm....take some off your hands...

Just bought a 1 1/4" Re-Saw King and that's what I'll be using. Cuts mahogany like butter. Don I'll let you know if it gets to be toooooo much.

Goomps,


I'd definitely be in for at least 3 neck blanks. I love Cuban Mahog necks.


TIA
