A question for you old timers here. What sort of wood do dealers bring to ASIA Symposium? pizza
I'm interested in 5-10 year air dried sitka and euro spruce; AAA or better.

Thanks,
Walter

With the Fed folks showing up to speak on CITES and such it will be interesting to see what wood is out on display this show.

"air dried sitka and euro spruce; AAA or better" should be available

I doubt you'll find any 5-10 years old

The builder usually accumulates his own stash

Judging from past experience - there will be no shortage of great topwood - from Bob, Carl Barney, and others.

The only place I'd expect you might find "aged" topwood is in the ASIA auction - my understanding is that more of Larry Sifel's estate will be sold. last time there was a lot of mystery topwood that was certainly aged - a lot more than 5 years. I didn't win the lot, but the generous guy who did was willing to sell me a set at his cost. Lovely stuff.

I don't know if Brent Cole will be there or not, but he had some fantastic sitka and bearclaw sitka the time I went. And Uncle Bob is always a good bet for stuff to look through too.

I've got too much (is there such a thing?) 20 year old high quality Sitka. What do you need?

Hello Chris - LMI,

Is your spruce kiln-dried or air-dried?
