Official Luthiers Forum!

Thought you guys would like to see some more photos. New stuff on the site. It'll give you a little better concept of what we do There seems to be a fairly common misconception that we're a tiny shop.. If you don't believe the photos ask Rod, he came up and took a look around last month.

Great looking set up. Great looking wood. But then you always have had great looking wood. I'm just starting my tonewood business and I'm drooling! mmmmmm, Maaaple!

THESE GUYS ARE HUGE.

And they have great wood too.

PS. Nice update Jason.Rod True38646.7106481481

Hey Jason,

I'm going to build a couple more maple Dobro's with flamed maple b&s, and top. Also I will be using flamed maple for the necks as well...
SO
Do you carry neck blanks big enough for squarenecks, and exactly how thick are the backs and tops you sell?

I've been wanting to do some business with you for awhile, but I guess I needed the right project.

The site is lookin' great...

Got any great top/back/side sets of any killer quilted?

Don,

You totally caught me on the right day.. How about flitch matched B,S&Top? I was thinking about reso builders when I put a few 3ft 8/4 boards in the kiln. I might even have some nice quilt, I've been making a real effort to get more sides with my quilt blocks.. Gotta quit giving it all to the electric builders

What are the dimensions of a squareneck? I'm sure I have something suitable.

You'll get there, took us 8 yrs. Stubborn determination and the willingness to starve for a few year is all it takes

You've got access to some stuff I have a hard time getting up here. Find some 5A Madrone or Myrtle and I'll do some trading if your up for it Heck, even if you don't wanna trade me I'll buy some sets.

Jason,
The ideal dimensions of a block for necks would be:
3.5" x 4" x 24" for a single neck.
Something more like 3.5" x 6" x 28" would yield two necks.
Flitched is ideal for reso's!

Impressive setup. What kind of resaws do you use?

Jason,
You've got it. I'll keep my feelers out there and as soon as I find some, I'll let you know.
