I'm workin' on it!

I can only resaw so fast!

Most of my wood is sold!

I'm just a country doctor captain, not a miracle worker!

It doesn't matter how much stuff I have...Bob's is Better!

See, now there's the difference between the Zootman and the rest of us! We say "we're trying to get a couple sets resawn", and the Zootman has 100 ready to go...

Mine is ALL just white as paper so shows so poorly it is hardly worth effort. Hey Lance, thanks for calling us the Common Guys! I feel like I belong now! I can get some EIR pics and few top sets if you are stuck. I am actually quite behind in getting orders out the door, we just cut 500 sets and they are pretty much all spoken for so we need to get cutting again. One of my customers keeps sending more builders my way....I have told him to STOP!! I need some guitar building time....

Let me know if you really need more pics and I will get some to ya'll.

Shane

Normally it is 3, but if you want to send me 6 that is cool. If I end up short I will include a few more from everyone.

One suggestion, if you are having trouble getting traction due to the fact that your pics are not too sexy, make the offer sexy. Create a bundle 5 for $XXX, or FREE SHIPPING over $XXX. That will get people excited.

Acyually my problem these days is having enough wood processed to keep up with the orders. I want to remain very active on the OLF and it has indeed help build my business but I do have a lot of customers that are not forum members also and they buy in significant volumes that keep me busy. I look at the woodshed as a place, as you have said, to display that "Special Zoot". Although I think that I have some 'Special Tops" they just never get justice done in a photograph. But I will send you a few and put them up and see what happens.

Thanks Brock (and Lance) for continued hard work.

Shane
