tell me about it

i organized my partial wood stash, the really good ones which are in my bedroom closet. pics before organizing.
my mahogany/spanish cedar neck woods area.
(with a few ebony and pau ferro bridge blanks)

my soundboard area (with a few ebony fretboard planks)

behind this pile are my back and side sets. it's a mess

but i need to look at other pics! my wife told me that sometimes she wishes that i look at porn instead. but this is my porn!

i really should finish that 7 string...

I'm back in Manila. Here are the pictures....

Here's the big Narra board I have at Bulacan

And here's a trunk of an old Santol tree

Sadly part of the Santol was already chewed up by termites. I just don't know if deep inside there's still some useable wood.

Pau ferro is really hard and non porous. Really nice grain. But next to cocobolo it causes the most allergies, and the reaction is more severe than cocorose.

Good thing I'm not allergic to it
