Argh!

My wife is already up in arms about the set of Palo Escrito I just purchased from Chris Harrod of LMI. Chris was kind enough to come speak to the Stringed Instrument Makers of Southern California about wood properties, availability, and sustainability. He brought a variety of back and side sets along with several types of tops. This was a good learning experience with a very nice gentleman. Through the process I learned a good deal more about LMI and how they grade and process woods. It was very informative! Hopefully, I can pick up some money playing poker so I can buy more if the swap happens.

The Palo Escrito is true rosewood that is light in color and fairly light in weight. My set rings forever. I am expecting to make two great ukuleles from this set. The lighter weight will really play into my plans.

Philip

Man, if it wasn't for that horse, I never would have made it though that year of collage.


Zach,
I'm not sure what the funniest part of this post is.

I'd be in as well. I think I'm building my last steel-string guitar right now. I don't know - I just like the process of building classicals more...and the tone as well. So I'd set up a table to get rid of all that I don't need for classicals.

cheers, Christian

Im in too (only the buying part!) Do you have to be registered and paying for the classified, or can any registered member buy and sell?
