Looking for a redwood top

Post by Go4aRyd » Mon Nov 19, 2012 7:32 pm

Hi folks, I am in need of a redwood top for an OM. Can someone please PM with a reliable provider or perhaps a top set they may be wiling to let go? The need is ASAP (of course), and I haven't been able to find one. Prefer typical, straight grained, stiff both ways, dry and ready to use, and preference is towards clear or nearly clear aesthetically.

Not looking for sinker (always sound muddy to me - tap tone seems to be all over the map).

Thx in advance.....

Give me a few minutes and I'll put in the source I've used, excellent wood for the money.

Thanks, Kevin. That would be helpful.

Additionally, I may have a set coming.... stay tuned. A fellow forum member is trying to help me out.

I purchased two redwood tops for $40 each a couple of years ago and they are very nice. I see he has raised his price a little bit.
Good luck.

Still seems like a reasonable price, though.
I think most have had to raise prices over the past few years. I could be wrong, but that's how it seems.
Always have plenty of sandpaper; it's rough out there!
