That's great Bill!
Please allow me to piggyback on your thread here to let folks know that I'm bringing a Martin style 000 Sapele kit to donate, has a very nice Italian Alpine un-rosetted top, inlaid diamond and squares ebony board plus all the neccessay bracing, binding, linings, bridge, etc.
I coming on late friday so be sure to take a look at the preview Sat. afternoon if you're interested. Steve Kovacik told me he'll also be bringing a odd lot of Martin parts to donate.
I heard from Dave and Nadine that there are a bunch of new folks registered this year and I hope my entry level kit will be of interest to someone just starting out............and something that they can get for a bargain price!
Best

One thing I wanted to pass along to the people going to the symposium is that I asked Dave and Nadine if I could donate something to the auction. I have some really nice 50 year old Mahogany that I got a couple years ago and resawed. Sold some and kept some for my stash. I thought it would be a win- win to donate a set to A.S.I.A. auction. This way I don't have to write a check to donate and someone at the auction gets something special. I'm even happy when I do my taxes and write off as a donation. So not to blow my own horn I just though maybe you hadn't thought of it. See you all in a couple days.
