Hey Hesh et al,

I've been so busy selling and shipping stuff this is the first chance to show what I got.



This is what I bought after visiting Hesh the other day and contracted a terminal case of WAS    I can't wait to see what it will look like as part of a sweet little classical

Great swap meet,
Max

Kim, what does cargo container rental to Australia cost these days?  I figured you'd have a good handle on it by now.

I don't know how many times I wanted to post that I'll take a set of this or that, only to see that Kim already beat me to it. Kim, you definitely made out well. I would love to see pictures of that warehouse that you store all of this at.

Well, this was my first Swap meet, but I really had a great time. I made out with a few things that I think I got pretty good deals on.

A 1930 Martin OM Neck Template from Tracy

A B&S Set of Black Limba (similar to the one shown)


B&S Set of Figured Mahogany



And these Figured Mahogany Headplates


Plenty of Neck Blanks to keep me busy for a while...



And finally a B&S Set of Makore similar to the one shown below:


Look forward to the next Swap Meet!
