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:
http://stores.ebay.com/A-Hix-Tonewood-a ... 7675.l2563

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

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!)

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
