I know you guys have been bombarded with wood sales lately so I am posting this just for your info. I have some nice Ribbon Striped Sapele that will be on Special for all OLF members as long as I can get it. You can also reserve a set or two.

Bob! If you don't stop this, my wife is going to get mad! She hears the keyboard clicking and rushes in to make sure I'm not staring at your site again!! Three sets for $90 though? I'll PM you... .

Sure Nelson. The glue lines would look cool after carving.

Does anybody have a picture of this ribbon striped sapele on a finished guitar. I hate to buy three sets and not really know what it looks like under lacquer.

Colby, don't worry. This wood absolutely transforms itself under a finish. I currently am finishing a guitar with ribbon-stripe sapele back & sides (purchased from LMI) & it is really gorgeous. There is a deep 3-D effect to the grain under a finish - very lovely. Also, this wood behaves much like mahogany in that it starts out light brown & UV light will turn it darker & more towards red over time. So you don't need to stain or dye but that will work too. It has mahogany-like pores too so stock up on Z-poxy finishing resin for filling.

Abe Wechter, when he was making 'em one-at-a-time, used ribbon-striped sapele extensively. If it's good enough for Abe, it's good enough for me! And, yeah, it shimmers like silk under finish.CarltonM38562.7330439815

I have one in progress. It'll probably be a month or so before it gets buffed out though.

Here's a sample piece with a couple coats of shellac on it. Should give a pretty good idea of how it looks under finish. Nice looking guitar Jimmy.

They will look great. The Taylor 310 series used ribbon sapele but have a matte finish.
