Cuban Mahogany. Medium flame and perfect quarter. $550 - set 2 |
KOA I have great Koa, and may even find time to take pictures. Most is priced at $$700, but one set is $1500. That will be the subject of future pictures. Set 3 |
CHECHEN I made 2 very successful FT-15 (and FT-15-Kerala) from Chechen, and I currently have just one more set. This is one of the harder wood to be found that is not an Ebony. This wood is also called Black Poison Wood because nothing grows near it due to it's sap. $650 set 4 |

Jatoba is an alternative wood at no upcharge. As I write I've made 4 from this material, and it is as good as anything, better than most. |
BRW - AA (instead of AAA) for a couple of worm holes. Really Pretty! Set 22 - $4000 |
BRW AAA- The minus is due to a slight color mismatch that probably will be undetectable under finish. Set 23 - $4050 |
Brazilan Rosewood - very quartered except center. $4500 |
This alleged Honduras Mahogany is the most exciting I've seen in. . .forever? I think it is H. Mah., but it is unusually fine grained and dense in addition to being stunningly figured. It has a blistered quality that won't show up well till varnished. A spec build is pictured, I have another. Set 25- $850 |
Perfectly un-quartered BRW! set 26 - $4000 |
This is the inside, both cracks are outside a 000 template set 27 - $6000 |
only 90 % quartered so 20% less! Great set for $4500 |
set 29 Unique character, I look forward to seeing this guitar. $5000 |
Great set $5000 |
| Pernambuco.
I currently have 2 qualities available. I have several set of the
colorful material shown in the 1st and 3rd pictures. I have made
several fantastic guitars from it. I also now have 15 or so sets of extremely well quartered Pernambuco as pictured in the forth column. I never expect to see Pernambuco of this quality again in my life as the tree was cut nearly 50 years ago, and was fully twice the size they habitually grow to! |
The Infamous CrackWood (above) is all Sold! |
Quartered
Pernambuco, 15 sets $2500 - $3500 |
