[QUOTE=emathre] Grant,

I can't tell if its still available or if you haven't
gotten around to marking it as sold, but I'd like
the White Spruce top # 02 (the first one listed with the
pretty stripes).

Thanks,

Eric

Here is a recap of what is still available as of 6 PM Friday, and photos of my new listings

From first photo post:

8 off-quartersawn Honduran mahogany neck blanks at $12.50 each

Wood binding strips. Actually I have enough of all species listed, so ignore how many are sold/available.

From post with photos near middle of first page:

Curly coco set 1, reduce price to $110

Curly coco set 3, reduce price to $110 Sold

2 Mostly quartersawn coco sets, $145 each
coco set 5
coco set 6
The photo of the backs shows one half looking quite stripey. Even the half wet with naptha looks a bit stripey. Ignore this, these were stacked after resawing and sanding and did not oxidize at all. These are air dried wood, and that is what it looks like fresh surface. A week or so exposed to air and light and these turn nice rich brown colors. If you buy these and the colors do not work for you, i will give you a refund, promise.

Two sets of curly burr oak at $55 each.

The final items I will add tomorrow night

OK, adding the new stuff here

One back and side set of Wamara, AKA Katalox
This is a very good substitute for African Blackwood in appearance and tone, but it is 1/4 the price and the sides are easy to bend. Backs 8 1/8 by 22, sides 4 1/2 by 31 1/2.
One available at $100 sold to Zeheley

________________________________________________________

2 back and side sets of Peruvian walnut
This looks just like chocolate fudge when finished. Backs 9 by 22, sides 5 by 34. Anybody for a Willy Wonka guitar Two exact sister sets available, I am showing one photo to save space.

2 sets at $50 both sold, Greg H and Joe White

________________________________________________________

2 sets of Central American laurel
In the same genus as ziricote (cordia), but with a mahogany density and tone. Gray/tan colors like ziricote but a bit lighter, nice ray flecking, but no spiderwebbing. Very nice to work with and low priced. This is really beautiful wood. I have two identidal sister sets available, but I am showing only one photo to save space. Backs 9 by 23 and sides 5 by 35.

2 sets available at $45 each.

________________________________________________________

That will be it for my offerings, unless there is something that you want me to check for. I have lots of odds and ends. Thanks to everybody who looked and purchased. I will be packing and weighing over the weekend and will start sending out totals and getting things shipped.

No macasar, but I have some with lots of orange and tan stripes that would look just like it.

What is left as of Saturday at 8 PM

6 off QS Honduran mahogany neck blanks at $12 50 each. High quality straight grained wood.

Still a good selection of bindings.

Curly cocobolo back and side set #1, price reduced to $110 sold
If used for a classical or OM sized guitar, this set id defect free. Figured and fully quartersawn. See photo near center of page 1.

Mostly quartersawn cocobolo sets 5 and 6. price now reduced to $135
These are very high quality wood and will have even color when oxidiced and finished. Air dried Nicaraguan wood. Best coco there is. See photos near center of page 1.

Two sets of curly burr oak. Price now reduced to $50 each
high quality wood, identical sister sets. See photo near center of page 1.

2 sets of quartersawn Central American laurel. At $45 each which is about as low as I dare go.
Offering these at a low price so you can try out this wood. Beautiful wood with mahogany density and tone. Two perfectly matched sister sets.See photo farther up this page. 1 sold, 1 available

That will be it for my offerings at this swap. Again, thanks to everybody.

Grant
