Andrew, I will check when I get home tonight, about 6:30 Pacific time. I am pretty sure it is dread size, but can't know for sure until I lay a tape on it. Thank you. Jeff |

Jeff [/QUOTE] If you got that from Bob, I am sure it probably is. That looks just like the sets I have and they are big enough. |

I want the brazilian if you still have it... (the first one) -Paul- |

Paul, It is yours. But, I want to email you the dimensions 1st, just incase it is not what you are looking for, and I will get a pic of the sides. It came from Steve, so you know it is top notch. I am pretty sure it is at least OM sized. Thank you, I appreciate it. Jeff |

Classical size on that Koa eh? I'm gonna pass, only because I wanted to do an "D" with it, and I think my friend Brock has the hots for it...

[/QUOTE] I do, but it is about 1/4" too small for me.

Yeah. I would have loved to do even an OM with it, but it's just too small to do it comfortably, unless I used a center strip and a shell border. My SJ is about 15.25" or so, maybe 15-5/16". It would be really tight. Too bad, cause it's a gorgeous piece of wood. It could work for a OO though......Hmmmm.... |

Thanks again, Jeff! If anybody else has quilted sapele that they're considering listing, I'm interested in finding one more set. Andrew |

Andrew, Thank you once again for purchasing the set from me. It was not easy to part with, but someone with my skills and abilities should be working with “opportunity grade” materials, not “precious gem” quality materials. Knowing that it will move on to someone who can really turn it into a masterpiece makes it all the more easy. I just want to see some pictures when it gets to the build stage!! Jeff |
