I just wanted to give a shout out to Brent Cole and Alaska Specialty Woods for sending me such great wood.

I ordered a bunch of stuff (archtop set, flattop sets) and the wood is incredible

The shipment was at my door within 5 days from when I ordered it-Alaska to NY!


I ordered a back and side set of Fiddleback Honduran Mahogany from Hibdon Hardwood.

Wow! it's one of the nicest sets I have ever seen.

Again, they are a pleasure to do business with.


Here is the link to the Fiddleback mahogany:

I need to give Alaska Specialty Wood a try.

Hibdon Hardwood knocks it out of the part every time. Great to have their support of the OLF.

They are both great tonewood sellers. Hibdon is easy to deal with and Brent is pleasant and knowledgable about topwood.

Hibdon has long been one of my favorites. Let's keep quiet though. I don't want anyone to swoop in and nab that set I've been eye-balling. ;)

Well all I have to say on that is DARN EXCHANGE RATE! It's really harassing my online addiction.

It's getting a bit better, Dan. Only about 30% exchange now. [headinwall] It's the shipping from the US to Canada that's a killer - $50+USD for a back and side set.
