Just added these sets of Dark Chocolate Brown African Mahogany. They have a combination of quilt & pomelle figure.
The wood is very dense and it doesn't raise that fuzz when sanded. Just beautiful.
use this code TENOFFMAY14 you get $10.00 off

I thought ten percent of a $290 order before shipping was $29 dollars. It's only taking ten dollars off.

My mistake. I should have said $10 off like it states on our home page. Old age creeping in. :oops:

No prob! Every little bit helps. It'll cover when you bill me for the signature shipping and insurance cost difference.

Thanks for posting this Bob,

My wife just bought me that first set of Quilted Hog that you posted. I showed her the picture and she said I should get it. I said I just spent a boatload on a new band saw so she said she would get it for me... bliss

Thanks and checkout was simple and easy. That is going to look beautiful on a guitar.

Cheers,
Bob

Bob,
If I keep buying wood I won't get a chance to use my new saw....

First I bought a really nice set of very dark Rosewood sides and back just so I could cut the perflings for my parlor, then 5 sets of those beautiful 50 year old German Spruce tops from Hesh and now this stunning set from you...

I will say if that Curly Hog is as beautiful in real life as it is in the picture I am going to be a very happy guy.

One question, Do you know the moisture content of that wood? What would you suggest for a time frame for using them? I am getting ready to start #2 with the Rosewood so I know not to attempt to use them right away.

Cheers,
Bob
