I think I've researched just about every timber supplier in the state, and those guys really stuck out. Unfortunately a 230km round trip for me, but would probably be worth it once I'm onto my next full scratch build. Would love to get my hands on some Blackwood or Tiger Maple.
In other news my Pitbull neck plate arrived in the mail today, so I might have a crack at getting it all bolted together this weekend. Strongly considering sanding the whole thing back and starting over with a proper finish in mind. I'm not in any rush.
