Ok I don't know what I've been thinking. I need to start collecting Stamps so the next time I move it's with a couple of binders. I'm in the process of moving, I just spent 5 days moving my luthier shop and all of my dang Tonewood. I wasn't ready to admit it but I think I have a wood problem. Hello my name is David and I'm a tonewood addict. lol

My shop is in complete disarray and will likely be that way for quite some time after moving. But I’m still looking for more wood, lol…

It's the addiction to moving that you need to work on.

I just checked my wood room. I have more than a lifetimes worth. I better get a little more, just in case.

You all are not alone! I live w/in driving distance of my favorite exotic wood store. Every time we drive thru town we stop and I walk out with a couple hundred dollars worth of wood under my arm. At 74 yrs I always tell my friends at the wood store, "when I croak, I've instructed my wife to wholesale them back their wood, and when she does, bring a truck!"

Who can resist beautiful wood?????

It's so bad, and I love wood so much, often when I need a fingerboard, rather than cut one out of wood I have, I'll go buy some more to "save" what I already have.

Good luck with yours you guys!
