I finally have a small stock of high grade ziricote again. This stuff was very hard to source, but the wait was well worth it!
Just a "heads up" that these are for sale. I have other available as well for those who prefer not to use ebay.
Here is the link to my ebay store:

Stop it would you Aaron. You're lucky I don't live closer....... no wait, I'm lucky.......... OK my bank account is lucky.

It never ceases to amaze me the beauty nature can provide us with. I've never seen it quite that nice though.

Outstanding wood. It's really hard to find great Mexican Crackwood these days. Grab them while you can.

There goes my X-mas budget...
I am sure my kids will overlook the lumps of coal and Kraft Dinner with these on the mantlepiece..... :-)

laughing6-hehe Good for you Robbie. You only go around once...... I think. Having to eat KD will make them appreciate the better things in life.

The first two sets have sold, but I have added 3 more for sale. Man it hurts letting these go.. I want to hoard them all for myself..

Hope no one minds me bumping this but I'm just too insanely excited about it not to brag that I bagged set no 6! bliss

And here's a very early first draft mockup with a bearclaw top and maple neck...

It will be for my brother. He saw the pic and fell in love...

That is all! :D

(Just need to work up the guts to take tools to it!)

Wow that's a stunning set! I wish I could afford some ziricote... :(

Excellent set!
I just received the set in the first picture in this post, #2.
Simply astounding.....never seen anything like this stuff...
So much so, I sold my car to buy another set.... :-)

Thanks, Peter, glad you think so! Still got at least one guitar to finish before I start on that one.
And I wish I could afford it, too! Luckily, my brother can. :)

May not appeal to all but he and I couldn't be happier with it!
Really quite daunting, actually... Much prep work to be done before I think of taking a tool to it!

And, Robbie, just saw your message: Great to hear you love it! I can't wait to see #6 up close! I think my brother has chosen really well!
The mark of amazing wood: A smilie face after selling a car to get it! :D
