VERY nice Joe! 
Have you given any thought as to what you might be building with this awesome set? 
ummmmm...I can almost "taste" bubinga with a F/P!

I'm glad you like it, Joe. I don't have any more like that, but very soon I'll be pulling the trigger on a large new web site that will include (amidst all of the current offerings) things like this...

I just finished a bubinga guitar. I am very pleased with bubinga in every respect, except it is way to tough to sand. |

Jeanne It is my first set of bubinga. It sure is pretty wood. Even the name sounds exciting!! I haven't decided what body style I'll use. I've just started thinking about a top. What do you think Jeanne? Would a curly redwood top be to much? Maybe just some nice spruce? John, Thank you and I've got to say, the examples you show above are all excellent!!! Can't wait. |

[/QUOTE] Yes, bubinga is a fun word to say....my son is running about saying it with an Italian accent... calling his Momma "my little bubinga"...
Since you asked, Joe, personally I might find a curly redwood top a bit too busy for my taste. IMVHO I would consider a spruce if it were my build. Thanks for asking!

Hey, here's a pic (which I hope isn't too big) of a curly redwood top paired with a crazy wild Bubinga back and sides. See what you think: 
Too busy? Also, can you name the luthier? Steve |
