Really? $100 for 2 bridge blanks? Nuts.... Geeze, I have a few hundred just like that I can no longer use. Since you're in Ontario, I can actually sell you a few if you're interested, Alex. Oh, and for a lot, lot less.... Lemme know! |

I think the people paying that kind of dough for Braz bridge blanks have more money than good sense. Last time I got some from that same gent I got a dozen for$5 a piece. I think I got lucky. Mario's are really nice if you need some. |

That's ridiculous. They are nice but i can't believe the bidding is that high! Kevin I have a bunch I can get rid of. They don't look as nice as these but would be much much cheaper. |

I've got two 5 gallon buckets full of Braz bridge blanks. I don't want to sell any, but at that price?????? I've been wondering, does anyone know why does Darren keeps changing his username on Ebay? |

Code: I've been wondering, does anyone know why does Darren keeps changing his username on Ebay? I have often wondered the same thing. As an Ebay seller, raising suspicion is something I try to avoid. |

Wow, it looks like it's just wavy grain stump wood. I think people without much knowledge see it and think "wow, it's flame brazilian rosewood, and it must be rare". Silly prices. |

I'd rather slice and bookmatch those for headplates. |

Quote: Wow, it looks like it's just wavy grain stump wood. Exactly. It's pretty, but has way too much runout for me to make a bridge out of it. The bridge acts as a brace. Most luthiers would not even consider using wood like that for an internal brace. |

What's with the "Point of No Return, USA" and "Ships Worldwide" statements in the ad??? Last time I checked, it would be easier to ship a nuclear device internationally than Braz rosewood!

Darren is in Northern Washington state. I believe he crosses the border, and does his Canadian shipping by Canada Post. I've bought from him, and the shipping address is in B.C. Alex |
