i'd go for a good quality hand drill

Already have a hand drill. I'm thinking more of a cutting device, new router bits, and additional clamps.

If there's no one decent, the last resort is to do it yourself. It's not as hard as most folks think

When you upload via photobucket and the pics are in the folder, when you put the arrow on the pic a small window will come out. Click on the "IMG" window and it will copy the code automatically. Then go to the Philmusic board and just press cntrl V to paste the code. It should work fine

the place where i get my mahogany has around 6 gigantic Bandsaws more than what we guitar builders need hehehehe but will check the nearer places first so that we dont have to travel far just for re-sawing

those Phil RW planks look like the real deal. tho i wouldn't use them for acoustic guitar back and sides, they would look pretty good as fingerboard wood. those pine blanks have pretty good grain pattern too!
