Official Luthiers Forum!

See my other post for an explanation about what these polls are for. In a nutshell I am helping ASIA with some ideas on marketing. I am just looking for general trending data on how we compare to the average wood worker.

You can remain anonymous in this poll if you like.

Thanks in advance for your help.

How much wood do I spend per year? Not as much as I'd like, I suppose.

Sorry, my linguistics background is intruding.

Well last year I think my wood bill was about $20,000.

The other day my wife was wondering what I was doing on the computer for so long. She caught me looking at wood again!

In the past year......somewhere around ten to fifteen thousand dollars. The other day I heard my wife (talking to one of my friends on the phone) say "he's out in the garage playing with his wood again" ......I don't think that she meant it the way it sounded but it did give me cause to pause and reflect!!

Brian, dang that's funny!

Where you been hiding lately?

Well,
Mostly building right now. I have seven guitars going right now.....Two for myself, two for a large music store in the area, one for a very well known player in the area, one for my son and one for my daughters bo. Two more (strung up)that I need to put a finish on plus I took on a student one day a week. Then there's my day job/business. Also, I am trying to coordinate the store builds, the local player build, guitar website and brochures to all come together at the same time. I am also in the progress of building the beachtonewood web site.....did I mention I have four kids and a very understanding wife.........sometimes I think I try to take on more than the six million dollar man could do!!

Good catch! I sure wish that I could spend wood instead of money too! I'd have no financial worries!
