ANNOUNCING COLONIAL TONEWOODS SUMMER SALE

I have been working very hard with Lance and Brock to arrange my summer sale to blow out some older inventory so I can acquire some truly fantastic logs of Brazilian Rosewood and a few other items.

I have constructed a special edition of the OLF woodshed. In it you will find 2 pages ( Page 1 | Page 2 ) of deals on everything from:


  • Brazilian Rosewood Sets
  • Brazilian Rosewood bridges, fingerboards, headplates
  • Madagascar Rosewood Sets
  • Madagascar Rosewood (fingerboards, bridge blanks, headplates)
  • Pommelle Bubinga
  • Ropey Bubinga
  • Macassar Ebony Sets
  • Pau Ferro Sets
  • AAA Carpathian Spruce Tops
  • AA Western Red Cedar Tops
  • Honduran Rosewood bridge plates
  • Honduran Rosewood bridge blanks, fingerboards, and head plates
  • Ziricote head plates
  • Spruce Kerfed Linings
  • Curly Honduran Mahogany Sets
  • Quilted Honduran Mahogany Sets
  • Malaysian Blackwood Sets
  • African Blackwood (fingerboards, head plates, and bridge blanks)
  • Fossilized Walrus Ivory Nuts & Saddles



... and just about anything else you can think of. If you want something that is not listed, ask me and I will try to get it for you.



  • All headplates are 3 1/2 - 4" wide by 7 1/2"- 8" long by .150" thick.

  • Bridge blanks are 6 3/4" wide by 1 9/16" to 2" wide by 1/2" thick.

  • Fingerboards are 20+" long by 2 1/2 to 2 3/4" wide by 5/16" thick.

  • Kerfed linings are 7/32" by 5/8" by 32" per piece

  • Soundboards are 8 1/2" by 22" by .150".




This sale will run through the end of this month and on all orders over $500 I will include free shipping and on all orders over $1,000 I will also toss in two AAA carpathian spruce tops

This will be a golden opportunity for you to get some great tonewood at cheap prices.

Feel free to ask any questions, or visit my site

Man Steve. I didn't need to be tempted like this after my vow of no more buying until i build half my stack! Maybe by the end of the month I will cave and grab 10 ziricote headplated and fingerboards!

those kind of resolutions are useless. I live by the philosophy that "you make money when you buy"

I used curly cherry wood from Steve for my first (avatar). Gorgeous wood for the money. Now if I could only have more money for zoot!

I think there is still one more flamed set of mahogany left and one set of really nice quilt. There may be hope yet.

Small sizes unfortunately, I like my wood big and wide so I can build big and wide guitars.

But I tell you this was some nice zoot and supplies for really good prices. I appreciate the sponsors doing this for us and I tell you it has changed who I buy from for sure. I ordered some other items but I will catch up with them next go round on the zoot sets.

Yes, I agree. Steve's BRW is killer. Check out these two sets I recently got from him.

So ... I get a package today from Steve and I open it to find a big stash of totally ... ridiculously AWESOME brw bridge blanks and some other goodies. Now that I see them I am thinking about buying a few more.

I can't say enough good stuff about it. You definitely should grab some of these before they are gone.

It was actually very affordable, Steve gave me the OLF discount. I highly recommend that you call him if you are in the market for some.
