Marzocchi705 Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 That seems like a very reasable price. Good find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay5 Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Is it dry? I have seen (what I think) to be wood from that seller on ebay and he says its been air dryed for a few months or so. Just somthing to look out for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was kiln dried. Im assuming if this was kiln dried that it is sufficient, correct? Around %6-8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just somthing to look out for. ← some are airdried, other kiln dried. This was kiln dried. Im assuming if this was kiln dried that it is sufficient, correct? Around %6-8? ← 12.50 +2.30 handling is not bad. A couple things that would make this different from other sets. 1- they have not sureface sanded the wood, they state rough sawn or skip plane. 2- Kiln dried does not mean 6-8%, Kiln dried lumber can be 10-12%(just depends). Drying=time=cost. 3-That is a nice set you purchased, most of the sets are not quite that nice. So one way or the other the price is good, if the piece works for you. Count on some loss of thickness during surface sanding (which may not be an issue, but takes time). If it is still drying a bit and requires flattening (not hard to do just takes a little time, but must be done in order to surface sand without losing a lot of material). After it is surfaced a 1/4" set can be flattened when you glue and press it. I think they sell a lot of rough cut sets, and at very good prices.

Think that there is enough to be surfaced? 5/16 to 1/4? I might have to take of a little bit more than that, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is skip planed sometimes you can get a couple deeper digs (but that is probably only on one surface). You should be fine. A drum sander or wide belt would clean them up in a heartbeat.

fryovanni Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Noobs only bug me if they don't think for themselves. I think it is dis-heartening to try to help someone if you see they make no effort to help themself(really a waste of time). You can't build guitars if you are not some what resourceful . Good luck with the build!!! Peace,Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
