Lance,
the pics look great. What are you using to shrink both file size and to get pixels to be 64x64? I assme that is what these are.

Well, Senior Member Dave, I use Windows image resizer, takes about 3 seconds per pic, then if there still too big, ill open them in paint, and use the image strech skew, and reduce the hidth and width an equal amount, another 3 seconds... 3 stars

Lance,

Great looking rim! A couple questions:

Is Acacia open or closed pore?

How easy is it to bend?

Thanks!

Jeff

JEff, the Acacia bent like butter! I thinned the sides to .085 and could hardly feel any resitance when bending the lower and upper bouts, ill have to give it a closer look to see about the pours, but i suspect there open.

Thanks BTW

Jeff[/QUOTE] Jeff I would rate it at a medium closed pore wood. you will need to fill the pores but they are nowhere as open as IRW. On Koa and Black acacia I cand fill a back and side set with two pbutt of Z-poxy

Lookin' Good Lance!

Too bad we're running low on the number of remaining sets. Hey, if folks are interested in pre-ordering sets, we will consider getting another big shipment in from our source in Tasmania. Otherwise, what we have may be the last of it, and folks will just have to pay the prices at the big name distributors...
