fryovanni Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Is this black korina worth 100 euro? Black korina What do you think.. That is not possible to answer. We have NO idea how big the board is. If that is a one piece body blank (approx 14"x22"x1.75"). Then I would say it is expensive for the US, but not way out of line (I sold a pile of one piece blanks to the board members a while back @$55 ea., and most of the time $65 per. can be had). Gilmer would ask around $80-125(higher end would have better figure). Shipping from US overseas is about $2 per. pd. (body should be around $22-25), and then taxes must be figured in. Europe pricing is generally higher. So it would be about right for a body blank. Peace,Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 It's not out of line, but I would seriously consider heading to Gilmer's website, looking at blanks for 2-piece bodies, and buying one of those. Should run, like Rich said, about 55-65 bucks (more for a 1-piece), it will likely be nicer, and with (ground) shipping it'll run about 75-80 dollars, meaning final price in euros post-duties of under 100. Yes, it'll take 2 months to get here, but still. You'll be hard pressed to even find another european supplier for Black Limba, though; I certainly haven't seen one. I've looked at the pieces the AF has when I visited a while back, but I can't say I was terribly impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just looked at Gilmer's site, they don't currently have all that much in the way of thrilling black Limba. Lots of white, but then, white is easier to get/cheaper.
