Today's set is a BEAUTIFUL set of Malaysian Blackwood. This set has a back large enough for a dread, and the sides are just a shade less than 4.5" across. Compared to what you will find on the market today, this set is far better looking with great colors, a small sap wood streak, and lots of verigation.

Retail value is $350, a bid for $275 will end the auction early and include free domestic shipping.

The auction ends tomorrow at noon...

Thanks Joe, I thought so as soon as I saw it...
Now if I can only get that hideous white sap out of the middle and still get 15-1/2" out of it. Guess I could always add wings! Or put the sap on the outside and do a little judicious staining...
Probably make a rather nice long neck 12, eh?

Heath, I just can't help myself. Brock y Lance are putting some very nice wood on here for sale. I must admit, I have a wood addiction problem. . . lol

I feel your pain... I have accumulated more than enough to keep me going for many years - and can never decide what to use first! ;-)
