Official Luthiers Forum!

Hey Jason,

I would like to get together with you and talk product. I know you live in Super Natural BC (me too) and would love to hook up if possible.

Let me know if we can grab a beer some time.

Rod True

For sure. I'm going to leave for HB on Weds morning (or at least I'm planning on that) but I'll be back by the following Tues night. My schedule is pretty flexible after that. Grab a beer somewhere or I could give you a tour around the shop if you want to come up on a day that isn't too hectic.

Pardon me for intruding into your conversation guys, but Jason-- could you elaborate on the Madrone you mentioned? Sounds interesting. Is it the same species that grows in the Seattle / Tacoma area called by some "Madrona"? (That is a smooth-barked tree, cinnamon colored.) Is that the same?

Thanks, SteveSteve Kinnaird38577.9403240741

I have been casually researching Madrone/Madrona over the last little while. I have one of those rare LMI binders and while browsing through it I saw they used to carry it.

While we've never brought it in (hopefully I can change that) I have heard rumors it grows in the Seattle/Tacoma area and carries up the coast past Vancouver. I can't confirm it but I think it goes by a different name in Canada, someone told me that a while back but at the moment I can't remember who it was or what the name was.. sometimes the brain just overheats a little
