feylya Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Mate, how long is a piece of string? The website is horribly unclear. Your best bet is probably to email them and ask how big it is. And I can't comment on the price because I don't know how big the piece is. Also, try XE to convert currency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willliam_q Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 i dont need to convert currency...i live in the UK i know that when I go to buy a lenght of timber it is always 20' and I thought that a piece of mahaogany or sumthin mite have a set dimension. hope that explains what probably sounded like a stupid question!

feylya Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Whoops, my bad. I thought when you say is £35 a good price, you wanted to know in dollars. I doubt it's a 20' long piece of mahogany for that price! And craft-supplies is more like a model ship providers I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrowheadguitars Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Craft Supplies do keep a wide range of supplies for guitar making and a mahogany body blank is 21" x 14" x 2" which is plenty for most body styles and £35 is a reasonable price, though you may well be able to pick up off cuts from places used to working with larger pieces for less. They also stock most other things you need from glue to nitro lacquer, so don't write them off just yet In my experience what happens is you go up with an idea of what you want and how much you are going to spend and end up coming away with twice as much and a big credit card bill. They also stock some nice figured tops, although they can be a bit on the pricy side. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nm7714 Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 As for the price of brazilian mahogany, i just got quoted £38 for a 1 1/2" x 48" x 11" piece i was looking at for a 2piece body, from a sawmill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
