I'm Finally back after about Two years here. Ive been looking around recently and I have got the spark to build again, now that I have a shop.
I recognize a few people from a few years back, and hopefully everyone is willing to help me get back into the groove of things.
Anyways... I just got back from the local mill/hardwood supplier/store and bought a few things. I was actually surprised that it only cost me $115CAN and the only decent supplier here is usually rather expensive.
The design of the guitar I am about to build is the same as one I started 2 years ago (and am still in the process of finishing for the 20th time). A few of the boards have the outline of one of the wings in chalk if you were interested in the shape.
So here are some pictures of the wood.
(The woods are: Maple, curly Maple(neck lam),Figured Bubinga (necklam), Bicote, Zebrano (with some spalt), figured Santos Mahogany, Jatoba, Lacewood)

Tomorrow I will start selecting wood for the guitar. At the moment I'm thinking Zebrano top, mahogany back, lacewood/maple neck in some configuration.
Hopefully I will have more pictures and progress soon.
Thanks.
(by the way is it possible to get my screen name changed?)
