Guys,

Just got an order from Felly, really great guy to deal with. I've gotten a fair amount of woods over time, and this is the first time it came in 2 days...which is great as the more time flatsawn quilted maple is in transit, the more time it has to go wacky...

Phenomenal pricing, and quality that you just don't see that often. He even included 4 pcs of claro binding and 4 pcs of bubinga binding for free...

I can't more highly recommend him as a supplier of woods.

wood like this (I got 2 sequential sets) gives me a major woody!

_________________
The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

I picked up a beautiful set of walnut back in December. I haven't been back since. It's a security issue. For my wallet. :) Felly has some incredible stuff available!

Wow! Gorgeous! I got a set of Black Walnut and a Cedar top from Felly a couple months ago and I couldn't be happier. I would absolutely recommend Fiddleback to anyone. Can't wait to see your maple build Mike_P
