BUMMER what a real world is! My Photography biz is blessed with biz. We just moved into a 5000SQft shell that will be my creative playground for years. That, the kids, and the other life hurricanes make the process of learning to grow while building acoustics painful, not fun. I'll focus on Restorations and playing Fingerstyle in my "down time".
As some of you know. I bought a shop out a few years ago. I have many board sets and top sets that have been stickered and babied. I want a trade. Not money. I love short scale, small body (OO 24.75~24.9, 1 3/4"+) I am attending A.S.I.A and like the Pizza guy I will deliver. I also have some great 1" SW PA Walnut I had quarter sawn 3 ish years ago. Like a few hundred pounds.
I'll post it in the want ads but I figured I would mention it in the post.
I love building. I love that first strum. Nothing like it. I just can't dedicate the time I have left in a week to building. I get lost too easy. I will continue with restorations. I really enjoy the "slow" process. I have 10 nice projects in Que. I would ponder a OO Martin trade btw......
Cool! I can focus on my photography at A.S.I.A!
I am a life student. Ever since I got out of Public School I became addicted to learning. I continue to forget there are 24 hours in a day.
To those interested here are the back and side sets (Maybe not all) repeats are exposure changes, not additional sets;

Holy cow, brother! There are some gorgeous pieces in that album! How I wish I was out of school and could afford a couple of those! You are gonna make some people happy... I'd say good luck with the wood but I don't think you're going to need it!

By the way, if you end up wanting to make a donation to the "Chiropractic Students Lusting After Wood" program, just let me know
