John, there is just soooo much to do, I just haven't added the small body packages yet. You can email me with What sort/grade would you like to see. And I will do it this eve while in my recliner after supper. 7 or 8 pm. We have figured sorts of various degrees and grades of Bear Claw, lt quilt, lt curly and grades of those sorts also. Same is true for the non-figured regarding grades. When it comes to grade, there is very little to do with tone, but more about homogeneous looks. If you like Character, say of color or bold grain[some hard grain-people call winter growth] the lower grades are what one would want.

I'll get back to stickering today's cuttings and load them into the drying kiln.

John,for yours and everyone else information, we target larger instruments like Jumbo/Dreadnought first. The classical size is fall down, usually of the large boards that don't pattern the larger body. I just did a quick look about at the racks and shelves in the warehouse. There are 18 sorts of small body guitar sitka spruce tops ranging in size from parlor and "0" to classical and 000 between figured and non-figured and all #1 grades of 1A-4A and of coarse only a couple 4A of anything.
So please do tell me what size and sort you would like to see an 8pk of- for a flat rate box, and I'll throw in brace-wood to fill the side of the box not already filled with soundboards.
You can email me brent@alaskawoods.com

Brent, I hope to start an acoustic next year.
The brace wood is the only material I don't have.
I've ordered materials from various vendors, I just paid $24 shipping for two fretboards.
Outrageous.
I'll be sure to get a pack from you!
Dan

I just received notice via our postage/shipping software that Domestic US postage rates are going up again in early/mid January. It' looks like all Intl. Priority and Exrpess rates will stay the same this time.

I just checked the shipping cost of the 12 pack of small tops. $69 or 55% of purchase price. Could you make up a flat pack for US shipment to save on shipping.
I need a few small tops.

The flat rate box will only hol 8 sets do to thickness. I do not have room on my current domain host server or store to add much of anything to the store. Tell me what specific sort and grade you would like, and I will ablige if I have the sort you want in quantity of 8 or more.

Bob Howell, Per our conversation on the phone...
