camcool Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 the pic says it all curly bubinga that would make one heck of a carved top Quote
american_jesus Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 oh...my...that's friggin beautiful!!! i wish i could do some wood working, any kind of wood working, because that's a helluva nice piece!@ Quote
asm Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 im not getting the bubinga.... it must not be a very good tone wood or something. cause i see some massively flamed boards going for like 8.00$bf. which is really cheap. maybe its just a popular tree. Quote
skibum5545 Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 I'm probably going to be using bubinga in my next bass. I can get a piece for about $12/bf on ebay that's enough for what I'm doing with it, S2S. God knows if I could afford the planing fees and the wood cost I'd be buying some of that curly stuff. Only problem being, West Penn Hardwoods has a 10bf per species minimum order. Dang! Anyone want some curly bubinga? Quote
Dr. Jabsco Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 WHAT!!!! camcool, what happened to all that money you were going to use to buy yourself a crotch gancao alves top!! that 80 bucks a week. and how, how, how, do you get fired from mowing lawns! Quote
camcool Posted August 13, 2004 Author Report Posted August 13, 2004 alright I'm busted didn't get canned porsay it's just getting colder and leaves are falling so I moved into the business of raking leaves and used a resume to get hired didn't you know I'm filthy rich Quote
skibum5545 Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 Whoa, man, chill on the smileys (and the caffeine, I'd guess)! Do you know if that place has a scrap bin of some sort where they might have pieces of bubinga the right size for neckthru bass wings (4.5x21x8/4)? Quote
camcool Posted August 13, 2004 Author Report Posted August 13, 2004 I don't know I live about an hour and a half from there so if I went there it would be for buying masses and masses of wood (gas is so friggin expensive) why don't you call them and they might check and make you only pay shipping what do you have to lose P.S. notice I didn't use any smilies P.S.S. nevermind Quote
jefm Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 You need a resume to rake leaves??? What would you put on it Qualifications I acheived the highest level rake certification Taken a rake and garden tools association safety course Work experience I took out the trash since I was ten I cleared the table AND washed dishes after dinner I raked leaves in Iraq with the army for 5 years Previous to the army I was the head leaf raker in the appalachians For seasonal jobs if you work enough hours you can claim unemployment....at least you can here :-) Anyway....on topic....nice wood...I've seen better on here though and no hard feelings I'm just having a little fun Quote
