Acoustic Guitar Construction

A friend who recently purchased a portable sawmill has been having lots of fun cutting up trees. The other day he said to come by his place, he had some wood he wasn't going to use. He said he had some black walnut and some red gum eucalyptus. So I paid him a visit and left with some nice chucks of both.
I got 2 slabs of the eucalyptus that are 2" thick, about 16" wide and 4 feet long. There are quite a few cracks, but one slab is clear on one half and I think I can get at least a couple of guitar sets from it. The other slab will be cut up for turning blocks as it has more cracks to work around. I got a 3rd slab 3/4" thick, same size for a friend who makes boxes.
Then I got to slices of black walnut, lower part of a trunk. Once is 2" thick, the other about 1 3/8" thick. These will become duck calls and such.
Anyway thought I'd share this with you all. Its always fun and exciting to get some wood for guitars, eh??? Oh and this wood is dry ready to use too.

Nice, I like eucalyptus. we used it in our house, it color nicely with age becoming darker and richer. It will be a fun wood to make a guitar out of.
