Dude, you want attaboys, finish a guitar! Quit mopin and get movin (I should talk ;0)

Both sets of wood look really good. I just scored some nice wenge, should make some interesting guitar....beautifully quartersawn wood for the sides, and nicely figured wood for back.....may do padauk for binding, not sure yet. I am jealous of the BRW, though, great score.
So, my big brother was playing guitar and I figured I'd try it too.

Fair enough. Just be advised, there is a massive up charge for this wood. Especially when I know you like it!

Kevin, I think its an old guys prerogative to change his mind when he sees any wood. ;0

Tony, I really can't wait to see what you do with either of these....they are gorgeous sets.
