Ladies and gentlemen of the luthiery community:
I have come to the conclusion that my much reduced output of instruments has left me with more wood than I will ever be able to build with. Heck, even before this I probably had more than I could ever use!
So, I have compiled my first list of items, a few pickups and a whole bunch of back/side sets that are now offered for sale. There are more than 60 sets of wood on this list and there will be another list with more body wood (primarily walnut) and top woods (yes, there will be some LS redwood on that list) as I sort through my stash of more than 35 years.
This list may appear later in the Swap Meet, but since I was slow in getting everything sorted and there is only a day left in that forum, I have asked Lance's permission to post this notice.
If you are interested, please send me your email address and I will attach a copy of the first list to my reply. It's in MS Word so check your compatability. If you want a photo of a set(s) let me know and I'll take them as needed.
Please note that the Brazilian rosewood is only offered to US residents due to the CITES regulations. Much of it I have had since before those regulations, but it's too much hassle and potential nose bleed to get it out of the US. Now, if you want to drive across a border....
Requests will be honored by the time and date stamp on the email, so despite my response pace, the first come will be the first served. Fair enough?
Thanks to all the folks I've met and conversed with on OLF since it's inception. I hope to continue in spite of my diminished luthiery capacity.
Hank
