My fix -- errr, order! arrived from Shane (High Mountain) today. I ordered some of his Lutz, and it is very nice. These are some of the best sounding sets I've ever heard, with great sustain. Just had to share:
Best,
Michael

Nice! I know the feeling. I'm hitting up Shane for some shortly. They look great. Similar wood-addiction experience: I was in a ukelele maker's studio last weekend staring at two six-foot tall skids full of Koa Wood. Got the shakes bad! |

Michael--I for sure need to run down to Houston and see your wood---err, you! Tell me, what was the shipping cost like? Are there hefty import/export duties? Substantial bribes for the carrier? Shed some light if you can. Steve |

Steve, Shane shipped the wood via Canada Post. Took about ten days to get here. No duties coming in to the US. Postage worked out to about $5/set to my zip code. Best, Michael |

Shane has some of the nicest sounding spruce around. I got a billet from him, cut it up and am extremely happy with it.

Best, Michael [/QUOTE] Thanks, Michael. That's what I'd hoped to hear! Steve P.S.--Since we can see the wood in question, could I ask what "grade" that is? It looks nice. Thanks. |
