Official Luthiers Forum!

Well, as many have figured out, I'm working my way out of the tonewood business. I find I simply don't have the time to do it justice, and would rather concentrate my energies on finishing my accounting degree, and having a tiny bit of spare time to build an occasional guitar.

I'll be continuing as a sponsor on the OLF here through the end of November, and then my website will be running on its own for a few months following to clear out the remaining inventory.

With any luck, I will still offer some sets from time to time if I find great wood, but the NET website will eventually be absorbed by the guitar website. I'm not all that keen on having the two together, so I'll find some means of providing some separation if I can.

I still have some wood to cut and put up on my site, with some more cocobolo, mahogany, and ziricote among other stuff.
Oh - and some Insanely Quilted Sapele...

Thanks to all who have done business with me over the last year and a half or so! It's been a real pleasure serving you folks.

A special thank-you to Lance and Brock for this great site and the privilege of participating as both member vendor.

Don

Don,
I hope you will remain an important contributing member in relation to your building and info for othe builders?
Please!?

Don many thanks for all the great wood and service that you have provided to us!!

Since this is what you want to do I think that congrats are in order and kindly conveyed to you my friend.

I know that you are one of the top builders around so I will be looking forward to seeing some of your new creations.

May the force and an unlimited supply of Cheese-its be with you.

<sigh> I'm just not a Cheese-head anymore. I mean, not in the Wisconsin sense, and I never was a Packers fan, but I gave up Cheez-It crackers several months ago when I decided to start eating more healthy and eliminate the junk food for the most part. I haven't had soda since May, and most junk food was left behind as well. As for Cheez-It, they remain my favorite cheese cracker, but I got sick of them after binging on them back in the Spring.

Thanks for the sentiments though Hesh!

Bob, I'll still be hanging around. I've always been a member first and vendor second.

If you need help, I can help you and take "that" Brazilian set from you....

Ah Peter, thanks for that generous offer. No doubt if I succumbed to the urge to allow others to help me out in similar fashion, I would be, well...woodless.


Alas, I must own up to the fact that such an ugly scrap of wood must be turned into a guitar by me rather than cursing some other poor unfortunate soul with it. Believe me, I've saved you a world of misery and anguish.
