Kimball
wow looks awesome KB, what are planning to build with these ?
Edit hard to see how many quilted maple veneers are there ?
If you can spare any or want to sell any I'd be keen as mustard
Bet the package cost an arm and a leg from USA
Believe it or not Wokka there's only enough for one guitar it's going to be mahogany body quilted maple top. No cnc's will be allowed anywhere near it lol. It's going to be a luthier made guitar for Angelina. By the infamous DB also known as The Phil. Wokka the postage wasn't that bad from the guy I use. The wood was $300 US $100 dollars postage.Thanks for kind comments Woks. I look forward to seeing how it turns out.
holy carp so thats well over $500 AUD, hope it's worth it KB,
sure DB will make a beautiful axe. Any clues to what shape you going for and a conch girl finish ?
Lol I couldn't go cheap it's s gift for my good lady lol. I can't say Woks as Angelina reads forums and DBs signed the official secrets act lol.its going to be a natural colour that's all I can say currently Woks.I couldn't get really good quality quilted maple from Australia and the one I saw here cost me more than the USA by another $125.00. The cost of quilted maple changes daily it should be traded on the stock market lol.
Nice bit of timber there Kimball. Not for cnc (nice)
Jarrod I have a cnc,did you forget. I wanted a handmade guitar. I hope your well .What you been up to stranger
Kimball had to increase his home security when I saw the email he sent me with these pics :p
But it is safe now because Miss Fiona has been made aware of its existence and rightful owner...... Bugga.
Anyhoo, this is a build that has got me all excited for the first time in ages :)
And he is in Perth too so that makes it a bigger threat to him!
Seriously amazing wood there KB!
Yeah your kind offer DB of coming over to take it off my hands,was very thoughtful lol. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with our plans DB
Didn't know ya had one bro. We are well but as usual I'm out at sea bouncing around on a fricken boat. How's you guy's doing?Quote:

We are great thanks Jarrod. Glad to hear your well regards to Vicky. Must drive you crazy being at sea. You guys both need a long break.And you need to have time to get into your cnc
I was concerned for your health, Kimball... The heavy responsibility of having this very tasty chunk of tree was one I was only too happy to relieve you of.Quote:

Lol I was fine DB until I saw you camped outside in your ninja outfit awaiting nightfall. I'll bring it over when it's convenient to you DB. Thanks again how's the Telecaster bass coming on .
My spycam located in DB's mancave picks up everything....PM me if you want the inside scoop.....
hope your spycam is in HD Gav? Next time I'm over I'll wave at you mate !
I'll be watching this build with great interest !
Hahahaha... Stealth DB?..Quote:

I wired the Bass V up today for a sound test... It has a really nice voice, bottom end is meaty and the high end is clear and bell like.
When the finish is done and she is set up correctly it should be a very nice instrument.
Challenge will be to keep Bassguy from stealing it when he does a test flight!
Next challenge (if you succeed with the first) is to keep it from leaving with me!Quote:

Gavin just give me the nod as to when the bass is left unattended
Hahaha!
It will be a while before it is finished, by which time I will have upgraded security :p
that means we have a small window to come grab the Bass V and KB's loot hahah
Plane tickets bought for tomorrow...
Shotgun booby traps installed.
All I need now Batman is a Shotgun,booby trap,dingo and dog deactivator. It's a bit like the Shark repellant spray that appeared
In one of the old Batman TV shows.
Dont forget the back up home security psyco cat...
Comes out of no where and removes half a leg and disappears before you know what just bit you :)
Jeez DB you leave nothing to chance ?
Nope.
Said cat plotting the next assasination attempt...
All because she can.
haha yeah I've seen the psycho cat and she's pretty scary hahah
That is her "You are freaking dead when I work out how to break in" look.....
DB I have to say the look on the cats face is What the heck are you mere mortals doing in my kingdom
We exist purely to be her personal slaves.....
i'm surprised she lets you in the house...
It can be a drama trying to get into bed...
Last night she was in fine form, drew blood when I tried to move her.... Mongrel cat... If she wasnt a half decent mouser there could be trouble :)
Hahahahha! Ok remind me to keep one eye on the cat, with the other somehow on DB when I visit the Man Cave...
