If you were around a few years ago you will remember how this wood caused such a stir. These are the most intensely quilted sets you will find anywhere. This set is the very creme of the crop. It is large enough for a dread.

LMI was the last folks I knew to have these and they were selling them for $595.

$425 takes it and will get free domestic shipping.

I wonder if those wrinkles can be ironed out? I'll go $55.

$30 shipping to Europe, we will cover the difference if it is more.

So $455 takes it with shipping to Europe.

Just an idea but maybe auction end times should be shifted a little bit later for us West Coasters? Might get a little more morning bidding action if the auction didn't end at 9am PST.
