Not wanting to touch Rich's post with a 10 foot pole  I just want to let Rich know that my new friend  Bill Hibdon has some beautiful Olive wood that I believe he said was from Spain. Really nice sets and priced very reasonably too. Give Hibdon a call. Tell them I referred you. Regardless of religious beliefs the "Golden Rule" always works for me. pretty simple concept too.

How does Olive run as a tonewood? It is intriguing.... Where does it fall .... Mahogany.... Rosewood.... Maple.... etc... Thanks John |

Haven't had a chance to really examine a piece. The stuff that Hibdon has looked very nice. Why don't you give them a call. |

I bought a great set from Hibdon last fall and a client who had ordered a African Mahogany guitar was there and instantly switched to the Olivewood! The grain was beautiful and it had a great tap tone(  )The weight & stiffness are simular to Maple,stiff Walnut,Cherry Palo Escrito -Really I made a 14 fret classical for him and that wood is great to work with !!!! Bent easily-held shape-did NOT warp across the grain(sides) Smells nice-what else can ya ask for in a B & S wood??? get some soon !!! mike ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up")
