I sure wish I had some money....I love that Set G659.
Flatsawn Brazilian can be gorgeous...fortunately, I have some very similar wood in my pile. So similar, in fact that I would sware they were from the same tree from flitched boards.

Hey Don,
I was looking at the koa OM cutaway back and rim set with the feather crack in the cutaway... I noticed what looks like CA stain in the photo. I guess that is where the crack is... I suppose that this area would clean up okay with sanding, right? ...and the crack should be a non-issue? Would you consider $150?

would you take $225 for both the paduk and the birdseye maple sets?

HI Steve. the crack is stabilized with CA. Sanding should take care of it. If you're interested, I'll accept your offer. Thanks, Don.
