Shoot me but I don't like the look of the flatsawn guitar at all.

Zach's first set - now that is some awesome guitar zoot.

Cocobolo is just beautiful !!
and knock on wood I am not allergic - yet

ok, I have to show the two sets I scored this week. They are part of a shippment my local supplier got last year. This was all the Coco he had left.
Can't wait to make some exotic sawdust.

This set is a little boring by Cocobolo standards but is quarter cut so no wild figure. It is now part of a Dreadnought that I started a couple week ago while waiting for the lacquer to cure on a couple guitars. This will be the 1st year I have started 3 guitars,and will probably be slow completing the D as the weather is getting too nice to spend a lot of time in the shop.

Fred are you working on 3 guitars at the same time ? wow keeping busy !! cool !!
I will be doing 2 soon in the same time, was thinking that while the glue sets on the one guitar I can work on the other meanwhile etc. we´ll see how it goes .

Yes I am, actually 4 as a friend from Detroit who is my 1st student and is building a Mahogany OM with Adi top. He has just taken it home to scrape the binding flush which will complete the body, he likes to have some homework. I just did final sanding on my 000 12 fret and will buff it tomorrow, the neck is already buffed, I should be picking a tune on it by next weekend. The OM cutaway wedge should be buffed by mid week and have strings by the middle of next week. The Dreadnought top is ready to brace but will wait now until the others are done.

Some more eye candy. How about this


This one can make you seasick


This bird may fly away


And from a bigger board


And a whole pile


That should be enough, Now a guitar


Grant

Zounds, grant! That is some amazing coco. That second photo in particular is astonishing. Do you have stuff like that for sale? I seem to remember that I got some great Tazzie Blackwood from you at an OLF swap meet a while back, but must confess I don't remember your company name, if any. Please provide if possible.

Many thanks,
Max

Here is another interesting one, but I need to piece out the lower bout before I can use it. Gotta pick that wood carefully.



Cut a whole 8/4 billet of this, so I can build a stable of matching guitars

Grant

Grant, that stuff is so amazing, it's a shame to put it on the Back of a guitar...

Grant, cut that out!

A score from the UK - This set is owned by my tutor - I have the sister set, this is just cut so should darken rather nicely
