Ok, this is a pretty cool set. This is a set of really spectacular Tiger Myrtle. It has very strong figure that is both simeltaneously subtle and distinctive. This set is large enough to make a dread size guitar.

Retail value is $350, but a buy it now price of $300 takes it with free shipping.

The auction ends tomorrow at 4PM (a little later than our normal weekly auctions).

Thanks guys - when I saw this set I had visions of son of black tiger in my head....

It's been over 5 years now that I have been hopelessly afflicted with WAS (wood acquisition syndrome...) and even the new pharmaceutical WoodEase.... hasn't helped.... beehive :D
