What source do ya'll use for adi brace stock? I have to put an order in with LMI so should I just get some from them, or is there a cheaper/better source? I know of adirondackspruce.com and John Mayes says they are good on his video, but shipping is costly to Canada so if its all the same I would rather just use LMI. Also one more quick question if I may; Do you guys split all your bracing or once you have established the grain orientation on a billet do you just rip the billet on the bandsaw? Thanks a bunch |

Why order from the US when a lot of the better red spruce comes from Canada? I don't have the name of the vendor in Sherbrooke with me but I'm sure that Michael Greenfield or Mario Beauregard would be able to help. |

I bought a large amount from Colonial Tonewoods a month or so ago, best looking brace wood I've seen, and cut into nice billets that stack nicely for storage. |

I have found that sawn bracing stock very often has a high degree of run-out. For that reason I prefer to use split bracing billits.Prefer to use spruce for the back braces but have no bias against any particular species. |

The vendor in Quebec is Richard Boucher (yeah, his brothers make the Boucher guitars). he also sells thru Exotic Woods in Burlington Ontario. Thats where I get most of mine. |

Tony, last time I was in at exotic woods all they had out was sitka but they may have still been unpacking. I will give them a call. |

How much do you need? I have so much I use it as kindling, so I guess I could share.... Drop me a note. |

Mr. grumpy, I tried to PM you but it says you have it disabled. I appreciate the offer, you must be from the great white north as well? I need about 3-4 guitars worth. |

Sorry Ed, I assumed you'd know who I were.... I don't do PMs. 3-4 guitar's worth is easy enough to do for shipping costs, or drop-in and grab an armful, as I am in Ontario(Northern Ontario, though...). Contact info as per Shane's post.... |
