jmrentis Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 On the walnut piece, is that just regular glue in the joint like titebond? Would it sand out when you go to smooth it for the finish? Thanks for posting that stuff, unfortunately I have a bunch of wood on the way but I am still considering that walnut. It doesn't look perfect but I think if I could do it right it would look great. We need to have a tutorial here that shows the proper way to fix and fill a top like that with epoxy and such. I believe that Wes did a little bit of that on his beast if I remember right? Oh well, we shall see. Good luck. Later. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_A_T_T Posted July 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Yes, it was glued with titebond. The piece is plenty rough in the thickness department, so I don't see it being a problem to sand out as it is thicknessed. I'm just packaging up the woods now, so this week I'll get quotes for the shipping costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Cool! Sounds good and thanks for the info. I'll pm you if I decide on it. Good luck. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_A_T_T Posted July 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I've got the pieces all packaged up. The Karimaruthu set is in two separate boxes for the back & sides. I used an online shipping calculator at Canadapost.ca to get an idea of shipping costs. To calculate for Canadian shipping I need a destination postal code, so I can't calculate that myself. To calculate for USA, it goes by state, so I used Texas as an example because it's probably the farthest from BC, except for maybe Hawaii. All prices are for U.S.A. Expedited Parcel (10 business days). All prices in Canadian dollars. All packages insured at FULL price: Karimaruthu - Back $19.31 / Sides $16.95 (back/sides insured accordingly) Walnut - $29.05 Mahogany - $35.89 These are just ESTIMATES. Any Canadian residents can give me their postal code and I can calculate a shipping estimate for them. Final shipping charges will vary.

AcousticSmash Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Matt what kind of store did you buy that wood from? I need some Alder, preferably something that can be aged for me. I dont know anyone who could do that for me though and I dont know where I would find Alder wood in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_A_T_T Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 The Mahogany is from my old highschool. It had been sitting on the lumber rack for a quite a few years. The walnut is off ebay. The acoustic set is from a luthier friend. I buy most of my 'regular' woods from Windsor Plywood, a Canadian retailer.

M_A_T_T Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 There's a place on the island called West Wind Hardwoods. You could check them out, I think they're in Sydney. I've only ever had bad experiences with them, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughes Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 do you know how much a body sized mahogany would cost at windsor? id phone but im bad with naming the boardfoot and thickness and what not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_A_T_T Posted August 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 I think Mahogany is around $13 BF at Windsor. If your blank is 2" x 14" x 22" it would be $56. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
