Well just in time for me to rebuild the Narra/Capathian SJ for my Client Mark Macalik Bob is offering up so fabulas Curly Narra. I love this tonewood. Its finished appearance is unlike any thing else and it tone is slightly brighter that Taz Blackwood or Koa but equally complex. I just bought set 002 for Marks replacement guitar and reseved sets 004 and 007


There are 5 more available better jump quick be cause these will go fast and there is not likely to be more for a long time.

Narra is a great timber, but it's a bit close to xmas to be buying more tonewood. Glad you got a good set for the replacement guitar.

Just started building a neck for #3 out of narra. Rings like a bell, but I don't know if that's a good thing for a neck.

Michael I'm happy you were able to get your sets. They went so fast that I actually had 2 people buy set 5. I couldn't update my web page fast enough.
