Hi folks, do you have a good source for flamed maple for a guitar set and a mandolin? TIA

Serge

Serge,

I think one of our sponsors AC woods has good sets.

Cheers

Kim

Thanks Kim!

I ahve an extra set I can sell you very reasonable. I bought two sets because the price was good, but really didn't need two--you know the drill. I believe its a dread size B&S set. Let me know if you can't find anything.

I have some of Ed Dicks Quilted Maple and Flamed maple, I can tell you its the best I have ever seen. Take that for what its worth, I haven't seen it all, but his is good.

I agree.   

I have a pile of it from Ed, and it is very amazing. You won't be disappointed.

Serge, I have a bunch from CV tonewood. That's what the maple b/s are for my latest guitar.

I'll pm you Bro.

Thanks!

Rod,
Looking at that set is creating some GAS symptoms for me. Nice set!

Thanks Steve, CV has great cedar tops too, just wish Jason was back here as a sponsor.

I'll tempt you with this too,

I certainly don't want to steer you away from our sponsors, but I have gotten some sensational mandolin wood from Old Standard. Also check out Orcas Island Tonewoods, the owner Bruce Harvie sometimes posts here, he calls himself "Spruce", he is well known in the mandolin world.... Don't forget Gallery hardwoods / Larry Davis (I thought he was a sponsor, but I don't see his name up there?), he has some very nice maple as well, the last mandolin I posted here was with maple from him.
