This is raw wood, you will
have
to imagine how it will look polished and sanded!
I leave the sold sets up
till the guitar is built so the new owners can
continue to drool over them!

 Cuban Mahogany - $550 Medium flame and perfect quarter.- set 2 |
KOA I have great Koa, and may even find time to take pictures. Most is priced at $$700, but one set is $1500. That will be the subject of future pictures. I also have 4 unspoken for flitch matched all-Koa sets. They are chosen for tone and have medium flame. $1200 to $1500. Set 3 |
All Koa set #7 - $1200  |
AMAZON
ROSEWOOD - $1450 Over 19" wide! The deepest color I've seen in this popular true Rosewood. |

 Ziricote #1 $800- set 7 |
All-Koa set #3 -$1200 |
CHECHEN
- $650 I made 2 very successful FT-15 (and FT-15-Kerala) from Chechen, and I currently have just one more set. This is one of the harder wood to be found that is not an Ebony. This wood is also called Black Poison Wood because nothing grows near it due to it's sap. set 4 |

  Jatoba is an alternative wood at no upcharge. As I write I've made 4 from this material, and it is as good as anything, better than most. |
 BRW - AA (instead of AAA) for a couple of worm holes. Really Pretty! Set 22 - $4000 |
 BRW AAA- The minus is due to a slight color mismatch that probably will be undetectable under finish. Set 23 - $4050 |
 Brazilan Rosewood - very quartered except center. $4500 |
 This alleged Honduras Mahogany is the most exciting I've seen in. . .forever? I think it is H. Mah., but it is unusually fine grained and dense in addition to being stunningly figured. It has a blistered quality that won't show up well till varnished. SOLD!!! Set 25- $850 |

| Pernambuco:
Referred to as the "Music Tree" is Brazil as it is the most resonant
tree in the forest, and can be identified by whacking the trees with a
cudgel as one strolls through the forest; it is the tree that sing back
to you! Extremely rare, especially in pieces big enough to build
guitars. Pricing ranges from $2000 to $4000. |
Pernambuco Type 1 (flat/rift): |
Pernambuco Type 2 (quartered): |
