Hey, I got a log of that ebay stuff... Eighteen bucks a strip? Hmmm...anyone want some?  Actually, aside from some plain Honduras or Cuban, I've rationalized about all the exotic I can handle. Buy a few red spruce tops when I see compression and wide grain, but that's about it. |

Chris - Keep the faith, man. Yesterday I took a two hour detour to stop in at my favorite luberyard to see what offcuts they'd accumulated in the past three weeks. I think I've got more wood than I can use to build for a very long time....but that's not the point, is it? Besides, think of how much money I'm saving...(at least that's what I tell my wife)  - Another WAS addict - still happily ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up") in denial -

My wife teases me about this.... At my current building rate -- I have approximately 50 years worth of Tops.... and that doesn't count backs, sides, and raw lumber I am planning to resaw and make into guitars someday... On the positive side... I decided to purge my supplies of pallet runners and other nail holey, low quality crap wood (Well.. Mostly... Not all of it could go..) .... There is enough free wood to be had without resorting to making a 12-pc back dread! Of course... Offsetting those few boards -- I have the 4' tall pile of Red Oak "Billets" out of that 1-stump that will someday turn into at least 1-guitar.... I swear I am not a hoarder! Get that TV camera away from me! Thanks John |

You guys are sick, sick ,sick. I don't know what you are talking about anyway. To quote a old friend: " Buy all the good wood you can afford,............ then buy some more. " Link |

Todd... did I mention I might be back in town soon... I'm thinking of bringing the truck. Are you going on vacation soon... or maybe to the grocery store for an hour or two?
