Official Luthiers Forum!

Hi all,

Later today I will PM everyone that got in on Tim's Blackwood deal. The scheme will be as follows:

If you ordered billets I will give you a total for your purchase, you can pay pal that to Tim. Once the wood arrives here I will package up the individual orders and forward them to each of you. At that time you can pay pal the fees to get the wood from Vancouver to my shop and from my shop to your shop. I will not being levying a fee for this, just the actual costs plus the usual $2 for packaging material.

If you ordered sets, I need to buy the billets that I reserved for this purpose from Tim. So I will complete a firm price for these sets, less shipping from my shop to yours, and you can pay pal me those funds with which I will be forwarding that money to Tim to pay for the billets I reserved to process the individual sets. Once I have the wood processed a second pay pal will cover shipping from my shop to yours, I would prefer to dry the sets a bit before I ship them out but we can decide on that once the wood is here.

I hope everyone finds this fair and in the spirit with which Tim offered this wood and with which I agreed to participate so that everyone could be involved whether or not they could cut sets themselves.

Thanks

Shane

Good afternoon/evening everyone,

This is just a reminder to all OLF members who indicated that they would be buying one or more billets of blackwood in the group buy. We need all these members to transfer their money ASAP so that we can send the pallet on its way. Please remember that for the shipment to go ahead we need all buyers to honour their intention to buy. The FREE SHIPPING to Vancouver is based on the volume being sold.

regards

Tim Spittle

Bump!!

Just helping out with the reminders from Tim. I think that Tim indicated that a boat leaves every two weeks to Vancouver so the sooner he gets the funds the sooner we see the wood. Thanks again everyone for your help and patience through this.

Shane

Shane are the billets with no names beside them ones people claimed and for which payment hasn't been made, or are they still available?

I am interested in ordering. How do I do so?

Tim, my payment follows in the next couple of days.

Guys, lets get this handled so we all can get our zoot!

Billets without names assigned

I will check with Shane but I think that those unassigned billets are still for sale should anyone wish to purchase them.

regards

Tim

Tomas and Anthony,

The billets with no names beside them are available. Claim away, just let me know which ones you are interested in. But please act fast, Tim would like to get this wood shipped (as would those who forwarded funds already)

Thanks

Shane

Shane/Tim, please add Fiddleback Billet #20 to the Karol/Zlahtic order and I will PayPal Tim the money today.

With apologies for the delay in responding as I've been travelling extensively as of late.

Tim will be getting the billets packaged, to the dock and fumigated later this week. So tomorrow at 9:00pm Pacific Time is the last opportunity to get any remaining billets.

Thanks

Shane
