Hey Rick, Where in Ky do you live? Do you have any build pics? I am only finished with the neck glue up and rough head shape of my first build.
I am unsure how to post pics. I will try to figure it out and post.
As far as hardwoods. Paxton's in Cincinnati was a relatively good source, however, they are in their last month of retail sales. My only other source is a mill in St Leon, Indiana. That is about 1 1/4 hours NW of me. How about you? Anything near Lexington?
