BobK the necks are yours (feel free to call in, PM, or PayPal), I'll get some more together and post 'em in a bit.

If you have more of those neck blank billets just like the ones above (I need that 3 1/4" width), I'd buy three of those.

Brock these sides are yours.  Do you need anymore?  We have _a lot_ of African Blackwood sides, as well as some Cocobolo and most of the other species on our site.


Ron, I believe we do have a few more 3-1/4"x4"x26-1/2" and maybe some 30".  FYI the 3-1/4" width is rough sawn.


More images in a few moments...

Understood. I prefer the 30" pieces, but will take three of the 26 1/2" if that's all you have.

Thanks everyone for your interest so far...


Thank you Bart, Coco set S4 is yours for the taking. 


If you have yet to pay for your items we will be posting more items throughout the day.  Please be sure include the item # (ie S4 Cocobolo).


From this first round the Honduras Rosewood B/S set S1 and the HRW fingerboards S2 are still available. 


Here come some new items...

I'll take 3 neck blanks too. I prefer the 30" pieces, but will take three of the 26 1/2" if that's all you have.

And then you can pack them up with that set of blackwood sides you've been holding for me!

S6- Three Honduras mahogany billets see image for dims. $209.99 SOLD


 Ron these are just under 3-1/4", you can see the sides (4" face) are rough sawn.





S7- Two Cocobolo side sets.  These two sets are flitch matched (cut from the same 4/4 piece of lumber).  These would be great for a 4 piece back or for those who like to laminate sides.  Beautiful contrast in these sides!



There will be more listed in a bit, thanks so much for looking...

Peter et al, we do have some nice 3x4x30s as well as 24".  These listed were just over 3" wide in the rough.  I still have the two sets of Blackwood sides on hold for you too.


Thanks again for taking a look, here come some more items...

Are the knots on the sides bendable?I`vwe had trouble bending knots before.

Post subject: 

James, we hear from quite a few builders who bend sides with knots.  Flooding the area around the knots with CA seem to do the trick.  Though the ultimate suitability of these sides for bending will be up to the buyer.

Andrew,
You had some figured Honduras Mahogany on a monthly special a few months back. Is it possible to get some more of that at the same or better "Swap Shop" price? If so I will take 20 sets.
