New addition to the woodshed!




















I never get tired of buying wood, its a sickness that most guitar builders have :)
This week I was able to score what might be the nicest set of Cocobolo I have ever seen!

This set was found, cut up and stored away by my good friend Brock Poling.
Brock had this set earmarked for a special "Poling guitar" down the road.
Brock sent me this picture and I begin the long process of "Whaddya want! How much ! How about this! OK and ill throw in that!
Eventually Brock caved under my relentless pressure :) Well, not really "caved" But instead knowing that I wanted to making this into a show guitar for the Healdsburg Guitar Festival next year he gave it up.! ----- Well, he didn't really "GIVE" it up, but you get the idea :)

Suffice to say, If you would like this made into your "Dream Guitar" contact me and well chat!
Otherwise, look for it at the HGF next August 17,18 and 19th.

    Yes indeed Lance, that is one beautiful piece(s) of cocobolo, but I think that cocobolo set below you are using on PaulF's OM is even prettier. That fellow Paul must be one lucky guy!

    I bet that would pair up nicely with an LS top on a new E2...
