I'm in!

The last two guitars I have built have been from wood I got from the Swap-a-Palooza. Didn't realize it until this thread came up.

I need to build more guitars - so help me keep my string of great wood going!

Great idea! I would be looking/buying rather than selling.

Newb question....bear with me - I'm guessing this is a virtual thing......not an actual brick and mortar site?

I'm in if it's virtual innerweb stuff. I'm also guessing folks post pics of what they are selling and/or swapping, and the fun begins?

I've got some sets of curly black walnut, a few good Stanley and non-Stanley hand planes, and I'm always looking for a decent deal on a hand tool or two. :D

Yeah ... Brock sets up a sub-forum on the OLF. Members of the OLF (there are rules) can have a table (which is a discussion thread) where they prepare and post their items. The doors are then open and folks can go buy on the threads. It's not only useful for buying/selling, but it's become a pretty enjoyable social event for the OLF. When it comes to fruition, I'm sure Brock will post particulars on how folks can participate. But yes, it is virtual.

I can't find the word "palooza" in my dictionary. I hope there won't be polka music there. The last time I had a really bad headache, there was loud polka music palying in the background.

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

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
