                    PURCHASE OF SOME KILLER WOOD !!!

I recently purchase some incredible sets of wood: several nicely figured sets of Tasmanian Tiger Myrtle (Nothofagus cunninghamii);  three sets of figured Cocobolo (Dalbergia retusa) from Mexico; and I actually acquired two sets of beautify 'Quitled' Mahogany (Swietentia macrophylla) from 'THE LOG' (featured article in Fine Wood Working Magazine Sept/Oct 1985, no. 54; written by Mark Berry entitled, "Quitled Mahogany: The Tale of a Magnificent Mutant".  Here is the link to the article:  Quilted Mahogany

Contact me ASAP if you would like to order an instrument using any of this incredible material, it won't last long!
