Nothing fancy. I've got an old side set that I bent over ten years ago into a hoop that suffered a shop disaster. Been sitting as wall art for the longest time and now am thinking about using it, the disastrous crack can be repaired by the introduction of a Venetian cut out.

Anyway I tried all the links above and the one supplier that does carry cherry is out, all I need is a no frills back set. Any one know of a supplier perhaps?

I'm in Virginia. Should be plenty of it here I used to have a beautiful supply of it. Mike thanks for the offer but I am not sure I want figured since the sides are just plane and this is going to be my experimental doubletop guitar with 2nd grade cedar for the top.

I have a ton of Cherry, but I am in Iraq for a couple more months. If you don't have any luck, let me know. I've got some very nice QS and FS pieces, some with sap. It's been aged for over 10 years. Just dressed a few weeks ago while I was on R&R. Let me know if you don't have any luck finding something else. I should be home sometime in August.
