If anyone has a set of sides that will match the sides pictured, please PM me. This is for a Dred so the sides need to be 5" useful width. The pic doesn't show the subtleties of mixed hues of primarily brown along with salmon coloration. TIA

JJ,

You might check w/Hibdon. They have a lot of HRW that's not listed on their website and maybe they can match you up.

JJ, I have a set that is a dead ringer the only problem is it's 4 3/8"wide. I have another set which is 5" but they don't match your set as well. Here are pictures of them in that order.

Dang, Matt...That first set looks like it came from the same tree! I may get back to you on the 2nd set if I can't get a better match...stay tuned. Thanks much for your help.

Have you given any thought to maybe adding another piece of wood to the side to get your width? Possibly another type of wood for a visual effect or possibly a strip down the center? Might be an option if you can't find a match.

No...the thought doesn't aesthetically appeal to me and in addition, I believe it would be unstable and an invitation for a problem I don't need.

Gotta find a match and I'm confident it will happen in a week or so.

JJ,
The board the middle is the one I'd have to cut up. The sets on the side are for color reference.

I tried PMing the pics but I can't figure out how to upload pics without getting from a URL.

Anyway.

JJ, here are a few sides you might be interested in. If not we've *many* more that would be a great match for this back. PM me for pricing or for more info if you'd like. Also I can email you a much larger version of this image if you'd like.

Hey Matt those are some great looking sets/boards. When are you gonna stop through and visit here in St. Louis?

Thanks,
Andrew Gribble

Matt...I think you nailed it...I like it. I'll definitely take the side set if you're willing to cut it up.

Yeah...I've had the same question about sending pics on PM's. Nonetheless, we can return there now and work out the details. Thanks for the unbelievably quick response!

Andrew: I just noticed your pics...your sets will also work. I'll PM you as well...thanks!

It's time to get the interested patron involved and have him review the choices. Stay tuned.
