Zebrawood and such
Posted: Mon Nov 04, 2013 3:11 pm
A local small wood store is closing in the next 2 weeks and has some nice stuff at 25% off. I parused the shop with
a friend on Saturday.
A large billet of Zebrawood, quartersawn, 12" wide and about 5 ft. long, 8/4. It was beautiful.
I didn't even ask him what he wanted for it. Should I?? Does Zebrawood make a good guitar?
I could probably get 8 to 10 b & s sets from that billet. I'd have to be able to sell some off.
He also has a 12" quarter sawn sitka spruce billet that is about 48", also 8/4 he got for some guy who
was going to make a cello. It looked pretty good, probably make AA to AAA grade tops. I told him
I was interested in it, but didn't ask him the price. He'll call me if they cello guy can't take it.
Lots of other exotics. Wish I had a boat load of money.
