Do any suppliers sell just backs?
I MAY need to replace an OLD mahogany back and try to come close to the sides that are in great shape. It actually looks like a Philippine Mahogany. The closest thing I see to it in color and pattern is possibly African Mahogany. More brownish than redish and Very straight grained streaks with huge magical color changes from side to side.

Kent, we sell just backs or just sides which run half the price of a full set.

If you send me an image of your sides I can match them and send you an email back for your approval. PM me for more info if you'd like.
